Dear,
symptoms mentioned by u are suggestive u about possible spider toxin leading to local inflammation bu as mentioned by u, it they are golf ball sized than its really big enough and u must visit a physician or ER.
U must start chlor pheniramine along with antibiotic like amoxyclav. asap.
ice application will reduce swelling and tenderness.
chymotrypsin along with serratio peptidase can be used in tds dose.
