Suggest Treatment For Severe Body Itching Caused By Cat Scratch Disease
I am being treated for cat scratch disease. My dr put me on a round of amoxicillan. I am feeling better but still have reaction from scratches on my legs and chest. my bladder seemed to have an infection with lower back pain it is better now. I have pushed drinking water. Is there anything more I could do for this to get clear from the bacterial infection and to heal up the scratches on my body which are still itching and red?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the cat scratch disease. I suggest to use antihistamines such as Cetirizin daily to relieve the itching. I also suggest using Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for a week to treat the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
