well  you were stung thursday   then on saterday both worse than normale reaction you need to take a benadryle  you need to see a doctor so they can help determin e the treatment  in case you are alergic

Answer 2

You might be allergic.  Generally if someone is allergic to bees or wasps, it doesn't happen with the first sting.  The reaction tends to worsen with time.  If you get stung again and have a similar reaction with swelling and all (or if the swelling on your leg doesn't go down soon) get to the clinic and have them check you out.  If they think that you are allergic, they may prescribe an epi pen for if you get stung again to prevent anaphalaxis.  For now you should be fine, but just watch out.
