Hello, I am 20 years old and I think I got bit by a spider about 3 nights ago right next to my right eye, it was a bump at first, but then we tried squeezing it and it swelled immensely. The swelling went down, however it came back during the morning of the next two days including today. Is this normal for a spider bite? What should I do?
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Allergic response to insect bite takes some time to resolve. I would recommend you following things:> Take cetirizine one at night for 5 days.> Take acetaminophen for pain(if occurs)> Take a piece of cloth and warm over flame, put it over the swelled area. It will give soothing effect. Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health
