Cat Scratch Fever is easy-going infection and usually gets better by itself over several months without any specific treatment. This infection can be more serious with people who have poor immune systems, and antibiotics are used for such patients.

If your child have Cat Scratch Fever you should not isolated him from other family members because Cat Scratch Fever is not contagious. Your child cannot give the disease to anyone else. After having cat scratch disease once, your child is very unlikely to ever get it again.

You may take care of your child at home; you can apply a heating pad or hot water bottle to the swollen glands, giving some pain killer for pain, body aches or fever over 101F. It is not necessary that your child remains at bed, but it may help if your child tires easily. If your child feels like playing, encourage quiet play while being careful to avoid injuring swollen lymph nodes.

Antibiotics are used to treat the unusual forms of cat scratch disease or if your child have poor immune systems. If your child's doctor has prescribed antibiotics, give medication to your child on schedule for as many days as your child's doctor has advised.

Within 2 to 4 months, swollen lymph nodes generally collapse. In a very few cases, a swollen lymph node becomes so large and hurting that physician may advise its amputation. This is generally done in a very easy surgical method with a small incision.
