Hi thanks for the query
Usually wasp stings don't cause life threatening situations unless you are highly allergic to the same, during which you may experience rashes all over body, breathing difficulty,flushes,etc.
As per history mentioned by you there are no such symptoms as of now,so you can relax a bit.
However you can take anti allergic medication like tablet Avil twice a day for a day or two symptomatically.
Thanks again
