I was playing with Poptart last night, with a string.. well... he got too aggressive when he was playing, so I went to grab the string to put it away for the night when he pounced on my hand. I haven't clipped his claws for awhile so they dug right in, and got stuck in the skin, I had to pull them out.
Anyhow.. my hand looked okay this morning, but now tonight, the middle finger is swollen and quite sore to touch.
When it happened all I did was wash it with hot water and soap. What shoud I do now to make any infection go away? I have painkillers which are also anti-inflammitories, which I should be taking, but haven't lately because they make my stomach upset, would those help the swelling go down, maybe?
Thanks!
EDIT : I need to learn to spell. Lol. Naw. hard to type with swollen fingers. Yup.. thats my excuse.
