Concern regarding Tetanus

2023-05-31 02:45:26
I am very very worried please help. A mole rat bit me today, no visible blood but after applying Dettol to the place where it bit, I accidentally touched a steel tumbler (paani peene wala glass) kept on dining table. So I removed it from there and kept it away. But my 78 year grandmother on waking up took the steel tumbler from there and drank water from it after 45 min to an hour I think. Now I am very worried what do I do? Do we have to give her anti rabies injection? She was given anti tetanus injection in 2020 but the compounder administered it in her waist region saying she is very thin so he can't find enough muscles in arm.  Can she get tetanus from above situation or rabies? Please help, there are COVID cases in city so I don't know if I should take her to Doctor.
