How Can You Tell If A Spider Bite Is Venomous?

I was bitten by a brown recluse yesterday at 3 p.m. I went through flu-like symptoms I have gotten plenty of rest and lots of fluids and I ve eaten. I m still very weak but I m feeling better than I was in the past 24 hours. Do I still need to go to the ER?
