Suggest Treatment For Superficial Thrombophlebitis On Thighs

Hi today I was diagnosed with superficial thrombophlebitis in the back of the left thigh. I was given compression socks and anti inflammatory cream. There is a blood clotting disorder which claimed my mothers life due to Massive PE at the age of 41 and her youngest brother also is a survivor of massive PE. He is still undergoing tests. It has been confirmed that he does have a disorder but no label yet as this may take some years. Should I go to the emergency Dept?
