Infections - what antibiotics are used for spider bites?

Dont know what spider. 3 days ago. Hospital lanced drained and packed bite. What antibiotic?

Doxycycline Can this antibiotics be used for a spider bite ? I don’t know what kind of spider it was

Do not know which kind of spider and this happened several weeks ago. Appeared to be getting better then I woke up to a swollen red foot. I was given some penicillin from a friend but have not taken them. I have been keeping foot elevated and this morning swelling was down but is back after being on my feet most of the day.

Do you know what the spider was? I was bitten by a brown recluse spider and waited three days to get to a doctor. By then it was IV vanc (draino) and operations to stop the progress of the tissue death. Maybe you should get in to a medical clinic. If you have the spider take it with you to the clinic.

If they are infected, you need to see a dr. Depending on the spider they can get nasty pretty fast. Drugs like keflex are used for the infection.
