Ant sting ejects out formic acid. It is rather weak in nature and can be treated at home by putting baking powder {which contains mainly bicarbonates of sodium, aluminium and magnesium} mixed with drops of water, on the infected area. The swollen area will heal soon. Baking powder can also be used as a mild antacid. This is expected to suffice your problem. :)
