A member asked:

Which type of medicine can i take if a cat bites me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clean it plus: A thorough cleaning may suffice for most simple cat bites. Verification of tetanus protection and monitoring the site for redness or oozing is also important.Complex bites into the hand or web space between the fingers should be evaluated and likely treated with an abx appropriate for the germs found in a cats mouth.
