Why is my throat swollen from a wasp sting? i got stung on my earlobe then it went down to my neck and it's like i can feel my tunsels dangling

Bee sting: You are describing some regional hypersensitivity with excessive swelling of surrounding areas. I would be concerned about a developing bee sting allergy from this exposure with the throat swelling. Anaphylaxis to bees can be life threatening. You should see an allergist who deals with Hymenoptera allergies for evaluation/ testing. It sounds like you need to carry an epi pen.
