A stray cat scratched my hand, and I got a bit of bleeding from it. I cleaned it with Savlon and put on some antiseptic cream. I know that rabies can be spread through an animal's saliva, but is there any risk of getting rabies from this scratch? Do you think I should see a doctor about it?

Question

I'm really concerned about my husband's RT PCR report. His RdRp and N gene CT values are 24 and 23. He had a fever from Tuesday to Thursday, then it went away for two days, but now he's back to having a fever at 100 this morning. He's only taking paracetamol and doesn't have any other symptoms right now. But I've developed a dry cough since yesterday, though I don't have a fever. Our kid seems fine at the moment. What should we do next, and are there any specific medicines you recommend for both of us?
