Suggest Treatment For Spider Bite

Hi I believe I had gotten bitten by a spider or another type of insect on the base of my skull while sleeping. Now I have a nodule behind my ear and lumps on the base of my skull with some swelling and have noticed up higher on my skull I now have some dents I have never noticed.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You may have spider bite. You should clean that site with soap water. Apply ice to reduce swelling and pain. If you have pain then you can take ibuprofen and antihistaminic drug as and when required.
If you have any sign of infection on then wound then antibiotics are needed otherwise nothing to worry. Just be relaxed.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
