Can A Spider Bite Cause Swelling On The Forehead Along With Fever?
I think I got a spider bite or a bite from something overnight Thursday. When I woke up, the left side of my forehead and face were swollen and tender. Today it’s worse and my eyebrow/lid are swelling. I’ve been taking Benadryl . I got more concerned after my nap this afternoon as I have a 101 fever.

Hi,
It’s due to insect bite reaction. As a first line of management you can take antihistamines like pheneramine for symptomatic relief. Generally it will settle by itself soon. If symptoms persist, you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
