Most of the time, none. A spider bite is a toxic irritant, which no antibiotic will help. If no secondary infection develops at the site (rare) there is no need for antibiotics. An antibiotic (with no infection) is a foolish waste of time. An antihistamine (like Benadryl) can be very helpful, though. And cortisone ointment can be very helpful.
If your spider bite is swollen and filled with white pus, it may be infected. You will need to go to the emergency room to get an antibiotic.

Neosporin will not help the irritation but it will help the area heal quicker. For quick relief, take Benadryl for the swelling and itch. If the area starts to turn funny colors, see a doctor for an antibiotic because spider bites can get infected.
