My 19 year old son was bitten by a spider yesterday.  The bite is inflamed and red all around the bite.  He has no fever but the area it hot to the touch.  We are uninsured and are hesitant about going to the ER.  What symptoms do we need to look out for and what do you suggest we do?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, In most of the cases allergic response to insect bite takes few days to settle itself. I would suggest you to holloware acetaminophen for intake levocetirizine one at night for 5 daytime a cloth piece and warm over flame, put it over the swelled area. It will give soothing effect. You need to consult your doctor if the condition remain same after 2-3 days, any unusual symptom appears, condition deteriorates and if there is difficulty in breathing. Thank you.
