Wasp stings are very painful and unpleasant. Pain and some redness are normal reactions. Something more would have happened by now if you were allergic.

Hi Lauriem4, I've only been stung once by a Wasp and do know that the stinger needs to be removed. I agree with EleanorRose in that you would have had a reaction to it by now if you were allergic. If concerned always see your doctor. x
