A member asked:

How can i stop swelling and pain from spider bite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatments: If this is truly a spider bite, home remedies include elevating the area above the level of the heart, applying ice and taking tylenol (acetaminophen). Do not strenuously exercise, apply heat or try to remove the spider venom. If no improvement, see your physician.
