Children scratched by cats should be treated as follows: 1. Local treatment of wounds, local washing of wounds with water or soapy water can be used to expose wounds that can heal by themselves, without bandaging the wounds, and in the later stage, to prevent wounds from being broken or contaminated. 2. Rabies vaccine vaccination should be injected. Cats can also spread rabies. Five injections should be given to form full-course immunity. The injection method of these five injections is to inject one injection on the day of cat scratch and one injection on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 30th days respectively to form full-course immunity to effectively prevent rabies transmission.
