Calf pain and swelling can be alleviated by massaging the calf area, which helps improve local blood circulation and thereby reduces swelling. Patients are advised to take medications that relieve pain, reduce swelling, and promote blood circulation. During treatment, patients should avoid prolonged standing and strenuous exercise; appropriate rest can also help improve symptoms of calf pain and swelling.
