Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it may be an allergy, due to the insect bite, or some thing else like food, alcohol, or medicine etc.
Pull ups If you can you can do it , but due to pain to do it you may not be in a position. If you have no pain also the swelling may increase, so wait for 2 days, and then you can proceed.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
