Should I Got To Doctor For A Mouse Bite ?
Hi, A mouse has bitten on the toe of my 7 year old daughter. though there is no bleeding and the bite mark are very light, I do not want to take any risk. Shall I take her to doctor or already applied antiseptic cream would do the job?

It is better you take your daughter to your doctor for a Tetanus Injection. Normally, for the type of wound you have described, an antiseptic cream would suffice. But let your doctor be the best judge and prescribe antibiotics if necessary. Take Care!
