U can go for tetanus.
But along with that rat is responsible for transmission of hantavirus, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), Tularemia and Salmonella and in some cases rabies.
Still we never take rat bite as a serious entity.
Next Steps
feel free to consult with your detailed history for further guidance and prescription
