It’s a crab spider of some kind
Maybe a flower crab spider? Crab spiders are venomous, but most can’t pierce through skin. You child is probably having a small allergic reaction to the venom. Mostly you just need to put them back outside. I would call pest control not to kill the spiders, but to find how they are getting in so often and seal that space.
