Look for the aspirin, for the acetylsalicylic acid or certain of its homologous can be found in many substances.
Medications that are used for allergies include: corticosteroids, antihistamines, decongestants for nasal and sinus congestion, cromolyn sodium and leukotriene modifiers. Your doctor might want to add the last two to your current medications.
