Do not worry: first are you known to be allergic to wasp if you have a history of allergy and respirator problem after a bee or a wasp sting go to the ER if you do not have epinephrine pen with you if you do not have such allergy apply ice on the sting side and hydrocortison cream if you have it you should be OK the swelling will go away good luck

Hopefully: It won't get worse. If symptoms worsen benedryl may help. Watch for breathing issues especially with the location of the sting.
