Aspirin Desensitization Improves Alcohol-Induced Allergies in Patients with Underlying Respiratory Disease
Perelman School of Medicine at the University of PennsylvaniaPatients who suffer from Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) often experience an additional allergic reaction when drinking alcohol, including nasal congestion, wheezing, and a runny nose.
