Brief Answer:
Analgesics.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
To relieve pain you can take Tab. Ibuprofen after food, twice a day for 3 days. From your history I believe you are currently not on any medications.
Other measures you can take is to continue walking 5 to 6 times a day for 20 to 30 minutes as a exercise and elevate your leg during rest. You can wear compression
stockings.
In case your symptoms persists or worsens it is best to meet your treating doctor for a detail examination and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
With regards,
Analgesics.
