What Causes Cough, Difficulty In Breathing And Itchiness In Back?

My 24 year old daughter has bad allergies. She has been getting allergy shots for approx four years. They decided she should be retested so she was told to go off all medication for four days. Tomorrow is her test. Tonight she is coughing and having trouble breathing. She even said her back is very itches. Should I take her to the hospital emergency room or will she be ok until the test tomorrow?

Hi....you need to take her to emergency room immediately in view of her past allergies. They may progress to angioedema at any time. I suggest you have a epipen too with you always. Tomorrow I do not think they will be going ahead with the test with the symptoms she has got now.
