Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My cat scratched my big toe last Friday, between the nail and the quick. By the next morning it was infected. I ve been soaking it and treating it as best I can, but it doesn t seem to be healing. Today I noticed that it s starting to feel kind of tingly and numb. What should I do?
Medical guidelines regarding cat scratch are explicit in the major role of antibiotics.
Azithromycin drug is used in her normal dose, but you will need to see your doctor to get a prescription. This will help with the infection and solve your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
