Dr. Aspirin Hypersensitivity

Dr. Aspirin Hypersensitivity refers to a condition where certain individuals experience adverse reactions to aspirin and similar medications. Symptoms can include asthma attacks, nasal congestion, and skin rashes. This hypersensitivity is often linked to a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). People with this condition should avoid aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as they can trigger serious health issues. Understanding this hypersensitivity is crucial for effective management and to prevent potentially dangerous reactions in sensitive individuals.
