What department should you visit if scratched by a cat?

If scratched by a cat, the choice of medical department mainly depends on the severity of the wound. 1. Minor scratches: If the skin or mucous membrane is only slightly broken without heavy bleeding or deep wounds, you can visit the general surgery department. The doctor will clean and disinfect the wound and may prescribe antibiotic ointment or other medications to prevent infection. 2. Severe scratches: If the wound is deep or involves significant bleeding due to damaged blood vessels, it is recommended to go immediately to the emergency department. Emergency physicians can rapidly assess the injury and provide necessary treatments such as hemostasis and wound suturing. 3. Rabies prevention: Regardless of the wound size, it is important to promptly visit the epidemic prevention department to receive a rabies vaccination after being scratched by a cat, in order to prevent the occurrence of rabies. Seek medical attention as soon as possible after being scratched by a cat, and choose the appropriate department based on the wound condition.
