It's ok clean wound ....apply any antibacterial ointment
Rat bites may turn up in serious infections also so You should also get a tetanus shot especially if it’s been more than five years since your last one (or you don’t remember the date of your last tetanus shot).
If facing conditions take tab according to appearing symptoms like for fever tab dolo
Or any other symptoms -joint pain, muscle pain ,skin rashes , vomiting or diarrhea then for more help u can consult online
