These symptoms may represent an allergic reaction. The itchiness and shortness of breath should not further evaluated. Please see a physician soon, and urgent care is an option. Allergy testing and a course of steroids should be discussed. The allergic reaction may linger for days and requires additional treatment. Watch the signs of dizziness, difficulty breathing and wheezing.
