Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, you have already taken treatment for spider bite. Swollen gland may due to bite. Kindly continue medications and watch for symptoms of breathlessness, body rash, intense itching. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
