Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear sir /madam
Based on your description
Probably you are experiencing inflammatory reaction for the sting.
Do you have any history of fever.
I would examine your neck for range of motion and give rest for a week for inflammation to subside, and some muscle relaxants, ice foment action and some analgesics and review in a week.

I find this answer helpful
