If a cat recently bit you and now have swollen lymph nodes, blisters on your skin, and cannot stop vomiting, you need to contact your doctor. It’s important to diagnose the condition and make sure it is not something more serious. In some cases, people can recover from cat-scratch disease simply by riding out the symptoms over time. Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter medications or at-home remedies to help treat the symptoms for your level of comfort, but no other medical treatment is necessary.
