Dear friend,it seems that your body is reacting in a bad way to wasp sting.it is a reactionary effect based on immunity of yours.so it is not that you are allergic.the pain ,I presume, will last for another day.to relieve the pain you should take medicines like Ibuprofen.if the pain and swelling does not subsides then,I would suggest you to take tab Prednisolone under the guidance of your GP.I hope you will find my suggestion helpful.thank you.
