Suggest Remedy For Spider Bites With Swelling And Oozing Clear Liquid

I woke up yesterday morning with what looks to be maybe two spider bites. They look like I was bit with fangs. They are now very red, swollen, warm to the touch, and oozing with clear liquid. They are Somewhat painful as my skin is getting stretched from swelling. I started taking benidril today, no relief. Any ideas?

hi,
thank you for posting on HCM.
as per your history, you may have insect bite reaction or allergic reaction.
my treatment advise would be:
1. you may need a course of antibiotics preferably tab azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days.
2. you may take tab levocetrizine twice a day for itching and tab ibuprofen for pain.
3. you may also apply Betnovate n cream( betamethasone and Neosporin) twice a day for 5 days.
4. it will take 2-3 days for lesion to subside.
if persistent or severe pain present, consult a dermatologist nearby.
wishing you a healthy life.
thank you.
