How Can Finger Swelling And Discoloration Caused By A Bite Be Treated?

I got stung by a yellow jacket on my little finger two days ago. Put ice on it and this morning my hand and finger are swollen. The sting site is now dark purple. I took some Benadryl yesterday and applied ice. I now only have Wal-dryl on hand. Will this help with the ice.
