What antibiotic is used for cat scratch fever?
The decision and choice of antibiotic depend on age, severity, and risk factors. Clinicians may consider options such as azithromycin in selected cases, while more complicated disease or immunosuppression may require alternative regimens. The key point is that antibiotics are not a self-start treatment. Using the wrong antibiotic can increase side effects, contribute to resistance, and mask symptoms. The “best antibiotic” is the one chosen after clinical assessment and correct indication.
