A member asked:
Is there a test that would confirm my possible allergy to nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately no: History of true allergic reaction is the most reliable, or a challenge with the drug in a controlled setting, if you really need to take an NSAID and no way for an alternative, see an allergist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck
