How To Treat Cat Scratch Fever?!
Question: How To Treat Cat Scratch Fever.?
About 3 weeks ago I was scratched by a "stray" kitten. I immediately washed it off and used a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol to disinfect it.
My hand was alright until about a week afterward when in the area where i was scratched it began to swell up. I thought I had gotten bit by a bug or something because it was really itchy. Than after a week passed I began feeling a sharp pain on my armpit on the arm where I was scratched.
I did some research online and a person who was scratched by a cat said his armpit was hurting too and that he had been scratched by a cat. Another person responded to his post telling him he may have cat scratch fever. Yesterday about 3 weeks after getting scratched i have a fever, I am light-headed, I have the chills at night, and my armpit hurt. If i do have cat scratch fever what can i do to help treat it.?
Please don't respond saying there is no such thing as cat scratch fever it is actually caused by a a bacteria in the cat's claw i didn't ask if it was real i asked how could i treat it.
Secondly do not respond referencing Ted Nugent you may think its something smart and funny but its really not.Health Question & Answer
