Swelling after being stung?

Question

PLEASE READ WHOLE DESCRIPTION.

4 months ago on a nature trail I got stung by something (not sure what) on the forehead, and a few days later my forehead was swollen a couple inches and it spread to all around my eyes and on my cheeks.

Now at the same trail I got stung again (same species?) but I got several (not sure how many) stings by the same bug on my ear and neck area. I am concerned because of how much swelling was caused by one sting, now I have several. Will the swelling be several times as bad? They're by my throat! No swelling yet, but last time it took a couple days. Should I be worried?

Answer 1

I suggest going to a doctors for a check-up

(could be allergic)

excuse my spelling

good luck

Answer 2

The first thing you should do is take some benadryl, and then see a doctor.

What you are having is an allergic reaction.

and it could be very dangerous.

Answer 3

Its probably nothing to worry about, but maybe you had better go to a doctor. Meantime, hold a cold washcloth on them.
