Hello,
As there is swelling and diagnosed with cat scratch fever I will advise continuing the antibiotics under the guidelines of the physician. As the infection within the body will take some time to get over with. Also doing a blood and urine test is important as any misunderstood clinical signs and symptoms may not allow the proper treatment line to follow.
For the swelling, I will advise to use icing and do simple forearm exercises which will help the muscles to be stronger to not allow any swelling to occur.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
