i know it sound really funny but try placing a penny over each sting for a few minutes. there's something about the copper that pulls the sting,itching and swelling out. i do this every time i have a sting or bite and i can barely tell within a couple of minutes that i even had one. even the welt from it is gone. after you do this though wash the stings thoroughly and apply an antibiotic ointment since you have a past history of infection. if you don't feel comfortable using the penny method because of the germs associated with/on money which is very understandable just keep the area clean, dry and loosely covered. use antibiotic ointment and watch carefully for infection. if it doesn't clear up call your doctor for more advice

You could probably wait a day and go to the doctors if it gets worse. You can put Vinegar on the sting and that will neutralize the acid within the sting.

you would just be more safe to go 2 the ER.. even if it isnt that bad you still want to stay safe, espicially when you are allergic! Good luck<3

Yes, just leave it alone--and watch it for a few days. It can take up to a week for a wasp sting to go away. Ice it if it itches or feels puffier. You did everything you should have, and now all you can do is wait.

Wasp stings can last for a couple of weeks. They will eventually go away. No need to waste a doctors time with that. it will itch and look red/swollen for a couple of weeks. Keep putting cortisone cream on it.
