Unfortunately phlebitis can take some time to finally fade away. I just had it in my left calf also and it took about two months for me. But I also have extensive blood clots in the deep vein system which would make it take longer for me and not necessarily for you. I used warm compresses on it to help reduce the inflammation but ask your doctor if this is okay for you to do. If you had a serious blot clotting situation warm compresses would be the worst thing you could do. Just elevate as much as possible and be patient. It will pass.
