  3. BITTEN BY RAT. Injection is enough?

BITTEN BY RAT

2017-09-15 21:13:23
I've bitten by a rat in my house I was sleeping and got some itching/irritation suddenly but I'm not sure that it was a rat.  I got a tiny puncture in my foot thumb and a little bit of pain which is no more now .  I immediately washed it with soap and cleaned it then applied savlon then cleaned it again.  I have pressed the wound several times to allow the blood to come out then cleaned it again.   Should i be worried of rabies or other risks? Or a tetanus injection is enough?
