Hi,
Swelling after the trauma is due to haematoma formation which is due to accumulation of blood, this will subside over a days put a ice over the area. secondly cat scratch may leads to cat scartch disease which is caused by coxiella burnetti, consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
Take care
