It is definitely a reaction to the wasp sting. If there is no fever, it likely is not infected but if you notice any pus, call your doctor. If it is starting to get better, it will likely take a few days forthe swelling to go down and the redness to fade. If it begins to worsen, see your doctor. Best of luck to you!

Your description suggests lymphangitis typically seen in inflammation traveling to the lymph nodes in the armpit.
