What are the most insect-sting allergies?

Hi! I heard that many people are allergic to insect bites. But I'm wondering what are the most insect-sting allergies? Last week I have been stung by a wasp. I had a mild allergic reaction and I had to go to doctor. Now I'm ok and I learned how to react when something like that happen to me.

Wasp sting swelling

Yesterday, I was stung multiple times by wasps. I've taken 2 Ranitidine (which I've had since 2002) 12 hours apart. It doesn't seem to be effective as my hand and foot are extremely swollen despite applied ice packs. Will Aleve or Aspirin help?
