If you have a cat scratch, here's what you should do:
1. Clean the wound immediately: Use soap and water to wash the scratch thoroughly.
2. Apply an antibiotic ointment: This will help prevent infection.
3. Cover the scratch: Use a bandage or gauze to keep the scratch clean and protected.
4. Monitor for signs of infection: If you notice any redness, swelling, or pus, see a doctor right away.
It's important to note that:
* Cat scratches can sometimes carry bacteria that can cause serious infections.
* Even if the scratch seems minor, it's always best to err on the side of caution and seek medical attention.
