Good morning, ma'am,
As soon as the bite occurs, you should clean it with water and mild soap.
However, a cat bite, even from a domestic cat, can be very virulent and a doctor should be consulted quickly so as not to delay the treatment of the wound.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Hello,
I went to the hospital and they prescribed me Antibiotics. I started them around 3pm yesterday. Is it normal that the redness continues to spread?

Hello, thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification!
Antibiotics may take 48 to 72 hours to take effect. If the swelling increases after this time, you will have to reconsult.
