What should i do when stung by a black spider in malaysia ( species unknown). severe pain during sing, pn subsided but dull pain felt after 12 hours?

Go to doctor: Black (widow) spider bites can be quite painful and serious. Treat with first aid such as washing area carefully, using a cool compress at the site of the bite and seeking medical attention as anti-venom may be needed. If a different spider bit you other medications may be used. Each type of spider has different treatments, a local doctor can help you.
