Abstract
Aim: To present a case of aspirin‐induced sneezing.Clinical features: A 19‐year‐old male developed sneezing during the intermittent use of aspirin 325 mg for the treatment of headache, over a 2‐year period. When rechallenged, he developed sneezing 2 hours after taking the aspirin dose and the reaction persisted for 2 to 3 days. The frequency of sneezing was greatest during the first day. The patient was not treated and recovered spontaneously 2 to 3 days after ingesting the dose.Discussion: The causality assessment of the reaction as assessed by the World Health Organization assessment scale was ‘certain’. The limitation of this assessment may be the fact that rechallenge with individual excipients of the product was not undertaken. Although sneezing has been reported with other drugs, no reference to aspirin‐induced sneezing could be found.
