The left side of my face; from the jaw line to under the lower eye line is swollen and painful.It extends to my ear. I was bit by a spider on the left side of neck 6 days ago. The swelling has been slowly increasing since then. The inside of my mouth is bright red and several teeth ache. One of the teeth had a root canal 6-7 years ago. Is this result of the bite or is it the tooth? How can I tell?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Swelling near the eyelid is due to the spider bite, make sure that you are immunized for tetanus if you are not so in the last five years. Infection caused by the spider bite can be treated with the help of antibiotics. As such most of the cases of spider bites heal by themselves. For toothache, you need to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done, take an x-ray of the tooth, if the tooth is re-infected you have to go for reject. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out. Regards.
