I have to say the same as jon, if you notice no improvement, then you should definitely get another opinion.
These types of bites do, sometimes, clear up with an antibiotic, however, some of them don't and must be lanced and drained, or other treatments tried.
Keflex is an antibiotic, which contains the active ingredient Cephalexin.
Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.

I would always get a second reply if it doesn't clear up. I have the same type bite myself that formed the same way and to find out it was a brown reclute spider that bit me. I was teated with pressurized olive oil that was simular to protrolium jelly in looks. That cleared the spider bite and healed wonderful. My spiker bite was like a huge welt the size of a coffee cup saucer with a black center and spreaded more and more each day till I put the oilve oil treatment on it and wrapped it. Hope this helps.
