Suggest Treatment For Spider Bite

I m treating what I feel, think to be a Brown Recluse Spider Bite . I used diced fresh garlic, antibiotic ointment and sea salt to use for drawing out the poison, if any. It appears to be working as far as the warm feeling in the area of the spider bite [though I m not sure that it was a brown recluse spider], how can i find out what really bit me? what should I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Based on the given history and suspicion if we assume it is a spider bite then I don't think you should be in danger. But without actually seeing the site of bite I can't comment anything. Actually cases like this are best treated if we see at least the pictures of the bite.


I am waiting for your follow-up question with the pictures of bite site. Uptil that time, please apply triple antibiotic ointment, Capsaicin cream and for pain you may add tylenol. I would prefer loratadine for itching sensation (if any).


Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to ask me a question by writing my name as a reference in the start of your question. I will get back to you right away. Have a wonderful time ahead.


Regards!
