Can superficial thrombophlebitis of arm (cephlic vein) be life threatening? What are the chances that blood clots can go to deep veins (auxiliary vein)? What is the treatment?

Usually, SVT is benign and not life threatening, unless it encompasses other complications. It's generally a self-limiting issue.
If treatment is required for one in the arm, it's usually with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, since they can reduce the pain and help prevent reoccurrence in some people.
What has your doctor advised for it?
