How To Treat Spider Bite?

Hello, I think I got bit by a spider a couple of days ago. It formed a blister on one of my toes, and now it is looking a lot worse. It is draining, itchy, looks bruised, and swollen, red, and stings. I am not sure what to do. I am also feeling fatigue. Any help would be appreciated. I am 32yrs old
