How Can A Spider Bite Infection On The Stomach Be Treated?
I recently got bitten by an unknown type of spider on my stomach that pus and a venom sac I removed from it. I went to the Dr. who prescribed me Bactrim. I ve been on it for seven days and it has not gotten any better and is still draining. I have taken Cephalexin for spider bites previously and it worked excellent. Need advice as I am having knee replacement surgery and this infection needs to be gone fast.
