Attacked by bat
Hi, Last night a bat entered our house. It tried to attack and touched my head, it took me a while to shoo it away from my hair as it got a bit tangled there. I am not sure if it bitten or there are any scratches caused by it. There is no visible wound or scratch or blood as such. What should be the further course of action ? Should I take PEP for the same ? Please guide. Thank you.

Please consult a General Physician in the local District Hospital for a physical examination and further management. Your question has medicolegal ramifications. As such it should not be addressed on tele-consultation.

If u can not see any sort of wound I don't think there is an issue just washing the area with soap and water is sufficient.
Take care

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation.
Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
