I got a bite (spider?) and now it's red and swollen in the foot area. hurts !
Question: I got a bite (spider!?) and now it's red and swollen in the foot area!. hurts too!!?
Yesterday night I got bit!. And I couldn't see what it was!. I'm assuming it's a spider cause when I touched it to take it off the bottom of my foot, it was furry and small!.
And just this morning, it was OK, a little swollen!. But I was was like, what the heck, so I went to school and walked around on it all day!. I know, I was really dumb doing that, but I had to walk from class to class (I have a really big school with two floors!. The stairs are a killer), and so the pain just got gradually worse!. Now it's noticeably swollen, but I don't think it's REALLY serious, because I'm not having a fever, and the swolleness only spread a little around my foot!.
What do I do now!?
I have tried putting vinegar, iodine, and salt on it!. Actually my mom made me try some different things and I don't think any of them work!.
Not going to school is not an option!. What can I do in the meantime!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Use crutches if you have them to help avoid the pain!. You should probably go to the doctor though!. They can give you shots to help counter any adverse reactions you might develop from the venom!.
If you can't go to the doctor then just keep an eye on it!. Nothing that you do externally is going to help it!. In fact, trying to treat it externally may make it so that you can't tell if it's getting worse!.
You want to watch for bruising around the bite as well as white, dead tissue or black tissue and anything that looks like veins around the edges!. If it gets worse have it checked out!. Most spider bites won't kill you but being on the foot there is a chance of infection and all venomous bites carry some risk of tissue death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Put insect bites lotion that can be bought in the local pharmacies and if still continue to swell, you should now seek doctor's help because you didn't know exactly what insect bit you!. It might be venomous e!.g!. scorpion and might give you future problem!. Its better to be cautious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
