What is a good oral antibiotic for a cat bite?

Question

I have an infected cat bite in my hand. I have several different oral antibiotics here at home. Does anyone know which ones work well for cat and or animal bites? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

go to the doctor. Cats carry all kinds of bacteria. You might have "cat scratch"

Answer 2

Seriously, You need to see a doc soon. You could acquire cat scratch fever. No it's not just a song, it's for real. Only a doctor or ARNP can prescribe antibiotics. Not all antibiotics work on all infections the same. Some are broad spectrum, some are narrow spectrum. Your would should be looked at by them. Don't end up wishing you would have gone sooner....

Answer 3

Ahh go to the doctor dude! I know i'm sure you'll hear that alot but it could save your life. My dad strangled my cat once (cause hes a nut) and it bit him as well. Wound up that he had cat scratch fever (lol, Ted Nugent) and if he had gone to the doctor any later he would have died. They have him hooked up to an i.v. every 8 hours and such. So really, get it checked out. Especially if your arm has any other color to it besides flesh color.
