Get her to a doctor. She needs penicillin. Spider bites are a mild poison. Some can be deadly depending on the type of spider. It Probably won't kill her but it sounds like she needs more than just over the counter stuff..

You need to take her to the doctors. Some of those spiders are very dangerous. Don't mess around with something like that.

first off, do you know what kind of spider bit her? If it's a brown recluse or black widow- you need to go to the doctor. I think going to the doctor would be the best choice for you. Better to be safe than sorry.

Don't even mess with it, just go to the doctor. Been bit before, they are nothing to mess with. If you will email me I will send you pictures of what they look like IF you don't go to the doctor.

You should take her to the doctor to make sure it doesn't have poison in it!
