Suggest Treatment For Cat Bite
May be serious
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM, I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns
cat bite may be very serious if infection spreads and this should be cautiously handled. These are usually more dangerous bites than dog bites since more aggressive bacterias are found in cats. however, most bites are treated with oral antibiotics even before infection occurs. but if there are signs of infection as in your case,the arm should be immobilized and follow up in 24 hours should be scheduled.if there is progression of infection then you should get antibiotics intravenously, in hospital if possible.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good health. Regards
