A member asked:

I got bit by my cat last night the area is now red and swollen. what type of medicine will they give me for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is an infected cat bite and requires prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics to avoid septicemia. I recommend proceeding to the ER ASAP as you may need IV antibiotics in view of the redness& swelling of the wound. Your cat has most likely had its rabies shot. You may need a tetanus booster. You'll need follow-up care for this infection. The ER MD will decide on the best antibiotic
