Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Foot After A Cat Bite
My cat bit me on the bottom part of my leg, near my foot. I went to the doctor he prescribed Augmenten. The swelling and redness seemed to go down. Four days later, my ankle is swollen and it is red and hard around the puncture wounds. It doesn t hurt but the swelling is alarming. I went to work today for the first time since I got bit. So maybe that is the reason why the swelling is so prevelent?

Hello,
The swelling is due to an inflammation and infection. I recommend to continue using the antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. I also recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
