Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that due to getting stung there has been allergic reaction to the poisonous chemical that is released by the stinger of the organism leading to inflammation, swelling and redness. I would suggest you to start taking anti-allergics like Ben Chat Doctor. . Do cool compresses over the swelling. Take a keen look at the sting site and in case if the stinger is still embedded under the skin remove it and in case if you are unable to remove it get it removed by a physician. Elevate your feet while lying down. You can also apply steroid ointment and calamine lotion to reduce inflammation and soothe the area. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
