Suggest Treatment For Spider Bites On My Eyebrow And Nose

I think I have a few spider bites on my eyebrow and bridge of my nose. The pain started yesterday morning. It began to swell in the evening so I applied ice and took some ibuprofen. When I woke this morning, the swelling persisted and I saw a few bumps on the bridge of my nose. I took more ibuprofen and then a few doses of benedril, but there is no improvement. Should I try to get an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow?

Try applying some calamine lotion on the affected areas- it is good for insect bites. Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun and continue with the ice and Benadryl for a few more days- stop the ibuprofen. If you' re not okay after 3- 4 days, it is better to see a doctor.
