What happens when a person that has allergies takes acetylsalicylic acid?!
Question: I have allergic rhinitis and since i was younger the doctors told my mom that i was allergic to acetylsalicylic acid, so i couldn't take it. And i never did, but now there is a medication that i really need to take and i'm afraid because of what can happen since i've been told that i'm allergic to it.
Answers:
Considering you already know you are allergic to it, the best answer to this would be what kind of allergic reaction do you have to this medication? Is it a break out in hives? Or do you have anaphlaxis (which is a severe, possibly deadly reaction)? Depending on your reaction, you can consult your doctor, and he may say it's ok for you to take it. BUT! Should your reaction to aspirin be SEVERE, DO NOT take the medication, or anything containing acetylsalicylic acid.

that is aspirin, many people do have aspirin allergies, it can be anything form stomach upset, hives to anaphylactic shock
If you're allergic, you will break out into hives and stop breathing.
Check in with your doc and get his/her accommodations
If you are dangerously allergic to any drug (including aspirin) your doctor won't prescribe it to you, and will find an alternative.
(Not altogether sure how getting your doc's accommodations will help.)
That is called Aspirin, and with a previous allergic reaction to it, don't take it again. However, there are wonderful aspirin substitutes that your Doctor can prescribe. Aspirin is a "miracle drug", important during heart attack or when one needs to reduce clots. So, go to your Doctor, you'll be prescribed correctly for your own particular health needs.
IF you are allergic to ASA then my suggestion is don't take it. Take tylenol instead. ASA will probably give you a rash which you could live with but its the closing of your throat you would probably have trouble with. ASA's main ingredient, is pussywillow. So you might want to stay away from them also.
