Did you have it incised and drained (I.e. Opened up) or debrided (all the dead tissue cut it, left with open wound to heal in)?

If so, how big was the wound?

Most "spider bites" are not actually spider bites but staph infections.

You're much more likely to get c-diff after clindamycin than Bactrim.

PharmCoug

Yeah. Like pharm says clinda is kind of known for this.

Are you sure it's a spider bite? Could be a boil - can also be serious.
