default
Posted on Wed, 24 Jun 2015
Question: I have a swollen vein on the right hand side of my abdomen. Got a spider bite weeks ago in the area. I'm wondering if it could be related and what I should do about it. It has been this way for a week now.

Brief Answer:
no treatment is required

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

On most cases this is just inflammatory reaction on bite and it should improve within 2 weeks. There is no specific treatment. Only if there is spreading redness, fever, pus collection or significant pain then you need antibiotic treatment and apply cold compresses.

Wish you good health. Regards
