Rat Bite - No Injection

2016-07-28 13:01:03
Hi doctor, thank you for being there. About 27 days ago, I was bitten by a rat while working in my showroom. I accidentally scratched the wound as well. I washed the wound with water. My tetanus immunisation was recent. I never got the anti-rabies injection. The wound has healed completely now. Do I need to do anything else?

Hello Dear, You do t need anything else for the rat bite. However I would still suggest that you be vigilant and report your family physician if at all you get even slight fever or any other symptoms.
