Got bitten by my cat yesterday putting her into her cat basket for her annual vaccination trip. I got a tetanus jab and co-amoxiclav (500/125 - quite high strength). Some of the redness and some swelling initially abated but this morning it's still swollen red and using the hand is painful as I suppose it will be. I know cat bites can be nasty. Can I be reassured that the antibiotics will do their job in time and stop worrying? Did anyone get bitten, got antibiotics and still had to escalate treatment? A friend of mine told me this morning she knew someone that had to go into hospital despite early treat with oral antibiotics. Just a bit of a worry.
