How Can Black Widow Bite Causing Sweating, Painful Knees And Tingling Sensation Be Treated?

My husband got bitten by a black widow about 3 days ago and went through some excruciating pain. The pain has gotten much better but now he is dealing with excessive sweating, tingling, and mild pain below knees on both legs . Also, he is sweating on tummy area too. Is this still a normal reaction to the toxi venom? Please help!

Hi thank you for writing in to hcm.
Black widow spider bite is one of the most feared bites from spiders. it can cause severe muscle cramps,abdominal pain, weakness and tremor as it damages large group of muscles hence the symptoms.In severe conditions dizziness, chest pain,nausea, vomiting, fainting and respiratory difficulties occur.
kindly consult a doctor immediately for pain relief and antitoxin to counteract the effects of the venom.
Donot worry symptoms are severe in children or elderly rather than young adults.
I hope your query has been answered.
