[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are bitten by your pet hedgehog, which is known to transmit rabies if it carries the rabies virus in it. The disease rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper treatment. For your bite and the symptoms I would suggest you to follow1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 mins2. Antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28, which should be administered intramuscular to the deltoid muscle3. Antirabies serum, should be administered in and around the biting wound.4. In Tetanus, should be given intramuscular. These medications will help you to protect you against the disease rabies. Thank you.
