I understand your concern.
Itching is due histamine release at the local area.
My advice is you take Levocetrizine+Montelukast combination twice daily for 5 days. You should apply antibiotic+steroid combination ointment like Clob-G at the sting area. Apply warm water fomentation over sting area. This will soothe you and reduce the itch. Don't scratch otherwise it will injure the area and can cause bacterial infection.
Hope this will help you.
