A spider has bitten me. It is very itching and a small swelling is there. I am feeding my 3 month old baby. Will this affect my baby? What is treatment for this spider poison?

Hello, This should not affect the baby through breast milk , however you should reprot to a medical center for a hydrocortisone and a antihistaminic injection. After the injection , avoid breast feeding for 6 hrs as antihistaminic is secreted in milk and can cause sleepiness in the child. Regards
