First of all your risk was very low risk. Moreover you have been vaccinated.

You might be just having tingling due to anxiety.
It's certainly not related to rabies.

Hello and thanks for reply
Is 5 doses of rabipur taken on 0,3,7,14 and 28 days are enough? I also consumed alcohol during those days??
Do I need to take more vaccines or any booster vaccines available just to clear my doubts please let me know

Brief Answer:
Not required

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Just 5 shots of vaccines as detailed by you are enough. No need of booster dose.
Alcohol should be ideally avoided during the vaccination just to avoid the risk of reaction. It doesn't reduce the efficacy of vaccine.
Good Luck.
