Does A Wasp Sting Require Medical Attention?

I was just stung by a yellow jacket. As a child I was severely allergic to bees, however, two years ago I was stung and had no reaction. Right now, I feel a little nauseous and tingly in my arms and legs. The sting was on my ankle-right where the acchilles-sp? tendon in. Should I see a Dr.?

before how much stung is important. because if it is in minutes time you seek medical attention. but as if it passed 3 to 4 hours than there is not need to worry. take the steroid prednisolone, antihistaminic chlorpheniramine maleate, and antibiotic cefixime to prevent the infection. this drug will curre your problem.thnx healthcare magic.
