No need to worry. Usually single sting causes only local symptoms burning pain, swelling redness, itching. These require just symptomatic treatment only. Following things would help you 1) ice fomentation 2) pain killer if pain is unbearable 3) antihistamine tablet for itching if my reply was helpful kindly leave a feedback.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you
if left untreated, epididymitis may cause an abscess, also known as a puss pocket, on the scrotum or even destroy the epididymis, which can lead to infertility. As with any infection left untreated, epididymitis may spread into another body system and, in rare cases, even cause death.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
