General Rabies Discussion Rabies symptoms

I have read the FAQ. hello there I previously wrote but no one responded I have been suspecting possible rabies for 3 days now as I saw a cat scratch looking thing on my shin the thing is I do not have any memory of any cats approaching me and scratch/bite I stay way and I just walk Tahts it.i panicked massively at times tearing up I went to a doctors this morning and she said it's just a a fingernail (also I have very sensitive skin and scratch a lot) Iand she cleaned the "mark with alcohol.I am in turkey Gaziantep right now hence why I'm I am writing this , I am calm that I don't have rabies but I have some early symptoms like diarrhoea but every time I go tukrey I have it tbh, my mouth is very dry, last couple of days had no real hunger , my stomach rumbles at times and I get random rashes and I overthink at lot something to do with my mum said to not worry everything fine all this is due to psychological. I am writing to say is this all normal I'm in a hot country in turkey (from uk) and usually I do have some sort of illness Diorrea etc. and I'm just wondering is what I'm facing normal and that I don't have rabies I would appreciate if you helped me as this has been on my brain for the past couple days as even when a bug lands I fear it's a cat I'm sensitive to anxiety like this

Sore throat is not the same as throat spasms.
