Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In Finger After A Bat Bite
I was bitten by a bat on my index finger this afternoon. I was picking it up to remove it. There is no external sign of the bite but my finger is tingling a bit. Also there was a very small pin prick of blood when I squeezed it just after the bite. What remedies, if any should I seek tomorrow ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You need to consider the rabies and tetanus vaccine if you have no previous history of recent immunization.
It would be important to get covered for these as soon as possible.
Rabies can be transmitted from infected bats.
I hope this helps
