I am having an allergic reaction to food that I don t what it is. I have been back and forth to the ER for days. I can t call the allergist until tomorrow. I ate what I have eaten many times. I can t stop coughing and itching and now I have bumps on my chest which Im pretty sure are hives. So do I go in or ride it out.
