Cat bite on wrist 9days ago on antibiotics, no infection but servepain when moving wrist and fingers. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cat bite: Could be pyogenic tenosynovitis or an abscess from the infection. You need antibiotics at least but I would see a doctor. Like today such as an urgent care center or ER. Cat bites get more infected than dog bites and human bites are the worst.
