You are in Self-Care . Cat bites and scratches are especially prone to infection.
Medical evaluation is necessary for thorough cleansing and treatment.
A tetanus or lockjaw shot may be required if you have not had one within 5 years or if you are unsure. Insect bites or stings that cause severe swelling at the site of the bite, a generalized rash or any swelling of the face or difficulty breathing, require immediate medical evaluation.
