Phlebitis, which simply means that a vein has become congested on dinflamed, is not something that can be cleared up overnight. Drugs help subdue the initial inflam- i mation and possible infection but after that it may be & largely a matter of staying off the leg as much as possible until normol reparative processes take over. This may re quite a longer period of rest than you think you can afford, but don't go against your doctor's orders. Phlebitis is stub- born and you certainly don't wont to risk unnecessary pro- longotion of the illness. TOOTH EXTRACTION FOR HEART PATIENTS Q.
