Knee Replacement and Spider Bite?
I've had both knees replaced and must try not to return with any infections as they may settle in the artificial knees area. I simply found out I have a brown solitary person spider bite on my right leg just above my ankle. I'm on antibiotics, polysporin balm on the bite, benedryl in bag of allergies and something for pain. Any other suggestions on how to speed up rescue? Thanx!
Answer:
Hi Donnania, you need to appropriate necessary precautions to prevent any form of infection or disease.
Clean the site of the spider bite economically with soap and hose. Apply a cool compress over the spider bite location. Aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) may be used to relieve pain.
You inevitability know that the bite produces a mild stinging, followed by local redness and intense discomfort within eight hours. A fluid-filled blister forms at the site and afterwards sloughs off to go a deep, enlarge ulcer. Reactions from a brown solitary person spider bite vary from a mild disorientation and rash to nausea and listlessness. Doctors may treat a brown solitary person spider bite with corticosteroids.
I would recommend a thorough nouns by your doctor.
