Cat scratch fever, also known as cat scratch disease (CSD), is a bacterial infection that's usually spread by a cat scratch or bite. Symptoms include: A non-painful bump or blister at the site of the injury, Painful and swollen lymph nodes, Fever, Tiredness, and Headache.
Most healthy people don't develop symptoms, and those with a mild infection usually get better without treatment. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or naproxen to ease swelling and pain. A hot compress can also help.
