Not sure: If you are seeing a board certified allergist i would hope that they performed an Aspirin challenge and if positive planned to perform an Aspirin desensitization. However, this is not always a risk-free procedure. I am hoping that when they say "slowly reintroduce" that they are talking about a desensitization because when done correctly, you should be fine. If symptoms occur they can stop.
