Hello! You have already received the tetanus injection which is important to be given following rat bites. Keep the wounded skin clean and apply an antiseptic to prevent a bacterial infection.
Rarely rat bite fever may happen which is after 3 to 10 days of the bite. It is accompanied by fever, vomiting,joint pains.
