Sounds like you have that lovely bug that's going round, I had it before Xmas and it lasted on and off for about 5/6 weeks, I have UC and that causes heavy duty bleeding, try not to put everything your body does down to the worst case scenario, but make an appointment at your Drs and write down all your fears and go and see him/her.
Don't dwell on it, it will only get worse.

The virus is already in your system and you can't get anything different/worse from it entering through a scratch. It's already there so your body will recognise it as the same thing and continue fighting it.
Get well soon.. Seems to be loads of these cold and flu bugs around at the moment!
