Brief Answer:
Yes, you should definitely take her to emergency room.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

In my opinion, you should definitely take her to emergency room.
I think she will need Nebulization of levosalbutamol and ipratropium bromide. This will give immediate relief.
She might also need Intravenous steroid (Hydrocortisone) for faster relief.
Chest x ray is also indicated if respiratory examination reveals crepitations or extensive wheezing.
All these things are available in emergency room.
So better to take her to emergency room.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
