Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain On The Wrist After A Spider Bite
I believe I got bit by a spider on Friday..it s now Tuesday. I ve had a red bump on my wrist that s swollen since Saturday...it aches . It doesn t really itch anymore and it hasn t gotten bigger and there s no puss coming out. It s still jus swollen and aches..especially by the end of the day because I probably hit it against something. Should I see a doctor or let it take its course and heal? How long does it take to heal?

Hello,
The swelling and pain are probably related to the bite and also the injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application and elevated the wrist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
