Hello,
Cat scratch disease can be resolved for months on its own.
I suggest using over the counter medications like Naproxen to relieve the pain and discomfort.
Apply heat compress can also do the trick in the affected areas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
