Posted on Wed, 27 Dec 2023
Question: I got bitten by a rat on the finger yesterday, Immediately I washed my hands with water and after 5-10 minutes I cleaned the finger with alcohol as I was not having dettol or something.
Then applied soframycin cream. I am going for tetanus injection. Is there anything else to take care about any medication or something else?
