Was stung by wasp yesterday in my forehead. had allergic reaction took benadryl (diphenhydramine) and shot of steroids but have high fever today?

How high's the fever: That seems a little odd. Usually there is NO fever with an allergic reaction. Probably worth getting checked out if you are not feeling well and the fever is over 101. Might all just be a virus and unrelated, but hard to say from the description.
