My Daughter Was Bitten By A Cat, Should I Be Concerned Or Will It Pass ?

My daughter was bitten by a cat a couple of days ago. She lost a fair amount of blood . I was extremely swollen and she is allergic . It s not swollen anymore but she says it is sore like a sprained wrist and the top of her hand and the bottom of her wrist are now a yellowish color. Should I be concerned or will it pass ?
