A spider bit me on my arm, close to my underarm area and it has also spread to the side of my chest where my arm touches. I cannot visit a doctor due to COVID-19. What should I do?

This is am emergency situation, you can take help of police or other hospital helpline. But if at all not feasible, 1) Do not panic and go to any pharmacy. 2) Inj Tetanus Toxoid O.5ml IM 1 dose. 3) Tab Levocetrizine 10mg 1 tablet immediately followed by one tablet at bedtime for 5days. 4) If no swelling/itching/pain/breathing difficulty/facial swelling worsen go to hospital be any means.
