Question

I got bitten by a female monkey on my left hand's ring finger, and it's been bleeding and has a small wound. I washed it with antiseptic and tincture Iodine, but now the finger is a bit swollen and stiff. I had a tetanus shot back in November 2016. Should I be worried about this, and what should I do next?
