What level is your character? Getting both a good weapon and better clothes really help a lot. At the very least, the clothes you can craft on the workbench is a good start, but the clothes sold by Carol are even better. Remember that you can pause during fights, so you can keep some healing items on your hotbar, go to the inventory screen and use them go get stats up again. The bars on the left of the inventory screen makes it easy to track how much health you've regained.

In my case, I've only used swords on them, and it worked ok for me. I wouldn't use ranged weapons on them, since they spew spikes.
