Brief Answer:
Inflammatory reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
If you are sure that its a spider bite then the pain associated with it is expected. The pain at the bite site is due to inflammatory reaction going on there. You may have to take a course of antiinflammatory medications like Tab Motrin 400mg twice daily after food for three days along with application of the antihistaminic cream.
If the lesion does not subside even after three day dose of Tab Motrin, then you must get the lesion examined as they could be something other than spider bite.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
