Earwig

6460. It bit me about 3 weeks ago its still swollen tonight i have fever. Society Hill, South Carolina. United States

Number 6460.  This is an earwig (order Dermaptera); it is extremely unlikely that it was the cause of your distress. They very rarely bite, and are more likely to pinch you with their forceps-like cerci. I am unaware of any reports of an earwig bite having any significant consequences.
