My cat accidently scratched me on my lip and on my stomach. I was carrying him and he wanted to get down so started moving around and caught me on the lip...oddly inside and out. I'm not so worried about the scratch on my stomach but I'm scared I might get an infection or something from the lip cut. Any advice would help...THANKS.

No you will be fine as long as you brush your teeth regularly - and you can use a mouthwash to kill any germs.

Keep both the areas clean, soap and water also antibiotic cream for the stomach... mouth wash for the lip (ouch but will help fight infection) If you show any signs of infections see a doctor ASAP

kind of because you could get an infection/sickness called cat fever which is when a cat that might have a virus on its claws from walking around scratches you and you get sick. just go to the doctor for a check-up.

Probably not. Rinse your mouth with hydrogen perioxide (do not swallow it!).
That should take care of the internal. Externally, use a little Neosporin.

put triple antibotic ointment on it. As long as your kitty is up to date on shots and has its claws trimmed and cleaned every vet trip your probably fine,
Hope i helped

I don't particularly think you should worry, but it will hurt, sting.
God bless you, hope you feel better.
