Suggest Remedy For Swollen, Pinkish Spot On Skin Due To Kitten Bite
Hello doctor,
I've been bitten by a 2 month kitten last week, i squeezed all the blood out, washed it with soap and water and placed some alcohol on it, right now, i can see a small bump where the kitten bit me , its a little pinkish and a little swallen. what can i do ?
Allergy due to bite takes some days to recover. Its good things that you cleaned it with alcohol. Wait for few days and meanwhile i would suggest you following things: > Take levocetirizine one at night if itching occurs. > Apply fusidic acid ointment over the bite mark
Report to hospital if: > Condition remain same after 2-3 days > Any unusual symptom appears > Condition deteriorates. > There is difficulty in breathing.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
