What to do if you get scratched by a bat

After being scratched by bats, first of all, the scratched skin should be repeatedly cleaned, then local disinfection to avoid wound infection, and then timely inoculation of rabies vaccine. After being scratched by a bat, the skin can be rinsed repeatedly with saline, soapy water, baking soda, etc., and then the wound can be sterilized with iodophor and potassium permanganate solution to prevent serious infection of the wound, and the wound can be bandaged if it is deeper. Since bats may carry rabies virus, it is important to receive rabies vaccination after being scratched by bats, and tetanus vaccination if the wound is deep. Cefixime granules, amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin capsules and other anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications can be used under the advice of a doctor if necessary, and spicy and stimulating foods and skin injuries should be avoided during this period.
