Possible: If your sting was severe you must have gotten quite a dose of the venom from the wasp. This sets up an inflammatory response which can trigger low grade fevers. Symptoms to be concerned with are any difficulty swallowing or breathing. Good luck! http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/insect-stings
