A member asked:

Does aspirin help or worsens food allergies? i have a cold and food allergy at the same time.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No effect: Aspirin should have no affect on your food allergies. It could cause GI upset, gastritis, etc. But that would not be related to your allergies unless you had pre existing gastritis, which it could worsen. If you have a GI diagnosis, you should talk to your doctor before starting Aspirin or nsaids like motrin.
