Answer:
The best thing I have found is to make a past with baking soda and water and put that on the stings and let it dry on them it really helped me I did this several times a day.

Yes it is normal. After next sting (if there is one) apply a pasty baking soda mixture as soon as possible to the sting site.

try putting some witch hazel on it. put some ice (indirectly) on the stings. take an allergy pill to reduce the swelling and itching. also, buy and apply an anti-itch cream (you can get it anywhere ex. walmart, cvs, kmart, walgreens). if it doesnt stop in a few days or if it looks red and swollen than i'd suggest you go to the doctor. it could be poison from the wasp or part of the wasps stinger is stuck in there. good luck!
You maybe allergic to them. When I get stung it will itch for about a week. I have to take benedryl because I am allergic to them and I can get very sick from them.

Try lavender essential oil or even rubbing actual lavender flowers on the site. it works with mosquito and spider bites.

No, see a Doctor !
Its only me, again !
I would say since it has been a week and you are still itchy you should consult a physician. If you have to wait to get an appointment, try putting some benadryl on it to see if that helps.

Put calamine lotion on it or hydrocortizone.
