I was bit by a mouse on the thumb this morning. i washed with soap and water and applied antibiotic ointment. do i need to see a doctor? there is no urgent care in my area?

You should be fine, just observe your thumb closely in the next 2 days for the swelling, redness or pain. Keep the thumb dry and change bandage next day. If something seems wrong then you can see any doctor by then. Take care.
