uni_ish | A cat scratched me! Now its red and swollen? | Okay so my cousins cat scratched me a week and 1 day ago. From what I know, they have never taken the cat to the vet before to get checked up. When the cat scratched me, my wrist didn't bleed too much so I thought it was fine and was stupid to not wash or put alcohol on the cut. Now its been a week and the cut/scratch seems to be getting worse? Its very red and swollen and itchy. Ever since the scratch ive been getting allergy like symptoms.. dry eyes and plugged/runny nose (but its not that bad). I put polysporin on it but it seemed to only made it worse. Help?! What should I do?
Additional Details
OBVIOUSLY im not gonna give you points if you give me a stupid answer (for example.. "im going to die"). Serious answers please!

You will most likely die, my advice is to talk to your friends and family and make up for anything you did wrong so you can go to heaven |
|

go to the hospital |

I'd start by grabbing the cat and biting it, preferably in the tail. |

there are new diseases going around for animal bites/scratches. it may be serious. you need to go to a doctor as soon as possible because this is a serious issue. i hope you feel better soon :) |

Your probably infected, or that cat had something on it's nails and got in your body from the cut, and did something your body didn't like. |
|

Clean the cut with alcohol, soap and water, then dress it by wrapping it up with gauze or band aids. I'd go to the doctors first thing in the morning, because it may be infected. I doubt its some disease the cat had that transfered to you. It may be just some dirt and bacteria that got on the cat from it walking around that found its way in the cut when it scratched you.
Don't worry you're probably not going to die or get some horrible, flesh eating disease if you clean the wound throughly and see a doctor. No need to worry :] |

If its been over a week, and it is swollen and really itchy, it probably means that you have an infection. Even if the cut looked ok, bacteria is invisible-next time put a disicfectant on it! If the cut is swollen beyond it's origionl size, is a bright red and unbearably itchy=infection. If you are getting red streaks that look like veins up from the swollen area is another sign of a bad infection-hopefully it hasn't advanced that far yet. Go see a doctor-it is not ok.
Hope this helps! |

You have an infection. Not to gross you out, but before the cat scratched you, he may have been clawing ther litter box.
See your family physician. You need a prescription. |

sometimes the scratch lasts a while then goes away. but there have been cases of something called cat scratch fever where it can get so severe that you could go to hospital. i think the best thing to do is give it 3 days then go to the doctor. |

See your doctor asap. There are certain diseases you can get from cat scratches. You may need a tetanus shot or antibiotics. |

There is an actual condition caused by cats called cat scratch fever. I think it's a blood infection but you should look it up to see the exact symptoms. If a red line spreads past the initial scratch you should really see a dr right away |

The scratch could be getting infected or you may be having an allergic reaction to it. Either way, if it hasn't cleared up or gotten better by now you should probably go see your doctor. He or she will be able to identify how bad it is and what's causing the issue. Chances are you will be instructed to take some allergy medication or be prescribed an antibiotic. |

It might be infected, I would suggest seeing a doctor. |

its pretty normal for them to get red and itchy and a little puffy.
try some neosporin.
if it really really really does NOT get any better, have a doctor check it out.
wash it with soap.
also, the fact that their cat has not been checked is troubling.
you may want to be sure to include that if you go to the doctor. |

i would try to make sure the cut stays as clean as possible. if it doesn't seem to be infected (no pus coming out) just try as hard as you can for about a day to NOT itch it. if the swelling doe not go down.. It would be very much in your best intrest to go see a doctor |

Polysporin is a good first move, since it wasn't cleaned initially. What you have described sounds very much like an allergy, if the redness is contained to the scratch site itself. If you are in fact allergic this could cause a massive release of histamines which could effect the site as well as sinuses and eyes.
As long as you are not having difficulty breathing, wheezing or swelling in your neck/face or throat (if this were me) I would next try an OTC antihistamine such as Benedryl pills (make you tired). If you need to stay alert and have no known allergies to medications try Zyrtec 10mg (generic works the same and it called Cetrizine 10 mg). Zyrtec works 24 hours, and should alleviate all of the symptoms if allergies are the culprit. It is my first choice. Also, you can try a topical cream or spray of Benedryl if you are opposed to pills (these are also available in generic; ask you pharmacist for help finding it, it is usually less than half the price).
If you have a fever at all or additional swelling or red streaks on your affected arm you need to see a practitioner to be evaluated. Also, you can call your family physician to verify what I have suggested is safe considering your medical history, since I am basing this on no significant medical problems. Most people will not need to see a physician over a cat scratch; although there are exceptions. If you get worse or have difficulty breathing, wheezing or swelling in your neck/face or throat you should go to the Emergency Room for evaluation; these are signs of impending anaphylaxis, an emergency. Peace of mind is invaluable. |
