Well Keflex is an antibiotic, so I am not sure what it is supposed to do for a spider bite, unless it had gotten infected. I would recommend seeing your family doctor and talking to them about this.

Take her to the Dr. and get checked out. I was bitten by a spider recently and was sent home with keflex. It didnt help at all!!! Ended up having surgery twice along with 21 staples in my leg all caused by a brown recluse. Spider bites are very dangerous and can do a lot of damage.
