Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching In Foot After Wasp Sting

Hi, I got stung about 2 weeks ago in my foot by a wasp, and a couple of days later I have a major itch in different areas on my body also face and scalp. There are hives also present and a bit of a rash from scratching. I took antihistamines and applied eurax cream but it s not getting better and is worse at night. Please help.
