Angioedema : You have allergic reaction to yellow jacket bite.It caused Angioedema and itching. It has been six days and swelling is still there.Stinger may be still there if it was honeybee.You can take over the counter Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for itching&consult your doctorYou will need rx and advice for future stings if it ever happens as it can give you bad reaction.You will need epipen to prevent acute reaction/Breath

An antihistamine is: in order. Considering your describing sounds severe I would see a doc as they may want to put u on oral steroids. Also, I don't believe a bee bite would cause a person to have a clot in the leg, but anytime there is swelling in the calf region, I feather be safe than sorry and rule it out.
