A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hives: Unless you actually see the spider you just can't assume it is a spider bite. That isn't important anyway. Hives represent an allergic reaction. They can come and go and just need symptomatic relief like you are doing. No need to see a doctor unless there are breathing issues or an intense skin reaction.
