Depends on the type allergy and the inflammation you're treating. It might be possible to try an NSAID from a different chemical class, but if it's a type I reaction or asthma/nasal polyps/aspirin sensitivity syndrome, you really don't have a good choice, and you may be stuck with steroids and insulin. Of course, there are a lot of inflammatory conditions that really don't have to be treated with anti-inflammatories at all, and some that can use other forms of immunosuppresives like methotrexate for RA. You'll need to narrow it down a bit for a decent idea.

I am with Aumharan on this.
This site is becoming very scary!!
I have an awful image in my mind of a patient sitting there, on the other side of your desk, while you ask us this question ...

I hope you're not a doctor because if my doctor was trying to get medical advice using yahoo answers I would be very scared.
