A member asked:

What commonly occurs with allergic reactions to nsaids? i read facial swelling, resp issues but i've never had these.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NSAID Allergies: The most common presentation of NSAID hypersensitivity is facial swelling, particularly around the eyes (angioedema). One third of patients present with a mixed pattern of skin (angioedema and/or urticaria) and respiratory symptoms including cough, breathlessness, rhinorrhoea (runny nose), tearing : from www.Dermnetz.Mobify.Me.
