Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Your description suggests a superficial scratch or minor wound, not a confirmed animal bite. Since it has already healed and 12 days have passed without any serious symptoms (like fever, difficulty swallowing, or abnormal movements), the chances of rabies or major infection are extremely low. The mild pain and tightness around your jawline and cheek now are likely due to local muscle strain or nerve sensitivity from the earlier scratch or tension.
1. Advices
Apply a warm compress (lukewarm cloth) over the painful area for 10â15 minutes twice daily.
Continue your prescribed pain tablet after meals for 3â5 days.
Avoid pressing or repeatedly touching the area, as it can delay nerve recovery.
2. What to Monitor
Any increase in pain, swelling, or redness around the chin.
Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing.
Fever, unusual facial twitching, or neck stiffness.
3. Management
Since you already received a Tetanus vaccine (TT), that covers bacterial protection.
If you are absolutely unsure whether the bat had physical contact (bite/scratch), you can discuss rabies vaccination (PEP) with your nearest doctor or government hospital within 14 days but if the wound was just a self-inflicted scratch after the bat flew nearby, rabies risk is negligible and vaccination is not needed.
For pain, Tab. Chymoral Forte (after meals, twice daily for 3â5 days) can help reduce inflammation if not contraindicated.
4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If you develop facial spasms, trouble swallowing, or unusual behavior.
If swelling or redness spreads rapidly.
If you get any fever or unwell feeling.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate reassurance and complete recovery, itâs important to review the wound image and timeline in detail.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
⢠A personalized treatment plan
⢠Safe medicine adjustments (if required)
⢠Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician

If it only flew by you, it must not be a bite.
You have already been prescribed pain killers, take them for 3 to 5 days and ull be good to go.
