What Is The Treatment For Swollen And Itchy Bump On The Arm And Wrist?
Hi. I received a nasty bite on my arm while clearing a patch of mint plants. The sting was very sharp and left about 1/4 inch wound. I have swelling down to my wrist and half way up my arm. Should I get medical attention. I m guessing that it was a spider.

Help, thank you for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I suggest you to take antibiotic cefixime, analgesic aceclofenac , low dose of steroid like prednisolone, antihistaminic chlorpheniramine maleate. It will cure you in a week.
