General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Well, antibiotics may help only if there is inflammation called thombophlebitis and in other cases it wont be beneficial-so you need to do dopler ultrasound to see if this is just varicose vein or something else.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
