A member asked:
Will augmentin clear up the infection from a cat bite or should i also soak my finger in epsom salts to help it heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should: Augmentin is the initial drug chosen to treat a cat bite. Soaking the finger could over hydrate the wound & interfere with tissue healing. Using a warm compress would provide the heat needed to improve circulation & improve healing without the excess tissue water.
