Hi

Thanks for posting your query.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Aspirin.

Apparently you have developed some sort of allergic reaction to Aspirin.
In some sensitive individuals particular those who have nasal polyps, Aspirin can cause narrowing of the airways (bronchospasm) resulting in recurrent bouts of cough and rash.

Blood in the urine (bleeding) can be an important side effect of Aspirin because of its ability to prevent the aggregation of the platelets (clot formation).

In view of the above explanation, you should avoid taking Aspirin.

Hope this answers your question.
