I'm really worried because a dog licked a small scratch on my leg on July 10th, 2017. I started getting the rabies vaccine on July 12th, 2017, but then the dog died on July 14th, 2017. I completed all 5 doses by August 13th, but now I'm having some symptoms like shortness of breath and a mild fever. Should I be concerned about rabies even after finishing the vaccine?

View allSo, a rat bit me, and I'm just wondering what I should do about it. How soon should I get medical help? I'm also breastfeeding, so I really want to make sure everythings okay. Can you advise?
A rat bite can lead to infections and complications, especially for nursing mothers. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. First, wash the bite area with soap and water. Apply an antiseptic ointment and cover it with a clean bandage. You should visit a doctor as soon as possible. They may prescribe antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg to prevent infection. Additionally, a tetanus vaccine may be recommended if you are not up to date. It is important to monitor the bite area for any signs of infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
