A member asked:
I think a spider bit my ankle yesterday. last night started to swell, painful and red (similar to the reaction i had from a wasp sting many years ago)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice and Zyrtec.: Ice it to reduce itching, pain and swelling. Do not scratch it. Take Zyrtec to counter act the allergic reaction. See a doctor if it is not better.
