If you have an infection, like I did last year when Ellen's 16 year old cat bite me, see a doctor. I noticed my hand and finger was getting bigger. I seen the doctor and told him. He said, you have cat scratch fiver. He gave me a prescription for something for 5 days and it didn't work. Then he gave me a prescription for 10 days and it worked. The doctor said it could have gone right up my arm ect. Those drugs knocked me out almost. I would eat breakfast and not do anything all day. I never heard of such a thing. Later, I ran across cat scratch fever, in a medical book and it is bad. Some infections need tough drugs. Be careful. I know a person that would not see a doctor, for a foot infection and went on a vacation. He seen a doctor when he got back and it was so infected, it cost him a $1,000 Dollars for treatment. He spent a lot of money for foolishness. culater
