Suggest Treatment For Spider Bite

Hello, a couple nights ago my partner was bitten by a spider (Australian Orb Weaver) and was showing signs of the dizziness and nausea. He has since seen a doctor and been given steroids and all for Bronchitis. The doctor didn t know about the bite and my partner didn t know what type it was. I discovered that today (that s a whole other story!). Could the bite have anything to do with the severity of my partner s illness?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes poisonous bite of the spider can cause such a symptoms. This symptom is related to the neurologic poisons of the spider.

I advice you should get treated in the special hospital, as specific antidote for the treatment is necessary.

Once antidote for the poison is given all the poisons symptoms will be automatically treated.

I advice you to take the steroid and cetrizine tablet. This will cover up the allergic reaction caused by the bite.

Please maintian good local hygiene to avoid the infection occurrence.

You can take the antibiotics, this will help prevent infection and will cure the wound rapidly.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
