I went to the doctoes yesterday for spider bits on my leg. She gave me antibiotics and told me if it got worse to go to the hospital. It has gotten worse today with more swelling and redness and now it has these small blister things. Should I go tothe hospital or continue antibiotics
Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. It seems that you don't have any systemic venomous effects besides local effect. In almost all cases, local effects of spider bites are self-limited and typically heal without any medical intervention. You need to take tetanus prophylaxis. You have to continue anti-biotic, besides local wound care with anti-biotic cream like tobramycin cream. Also take some antihistamine like Levocetriine 5 mg orally daily for 03-05 days. Keep the leg elevated on a pillow while you are on bed. Regards
