Antibiotics are useless against the spider venom. If you had an infection on top of the envenomation, the antibiotics will fight that.

Like I tried to say before, brown recluse spider bites are simply bad news. Many treatments (steroids, antibiotics, dapsone, surgery, and more) have been tried; none proven to accomplish much of anything.
