Is There A Safe Way To Desensitize Allergy To Tylenol Over Time?

Yes, I am allergic to all over-the-counter pain medication -- IBprofen being the worst - w/immediate puffy, runny eyes. I am allergic to Tylenol as well -- but that leaves just a minor swelling under one eye (500 mg) - not enough to take away pain. My question is - Is there a safe way to desensitize allergy to Tylenol over time (Ibprofen is too radical of a re-action for me to feel safe trying that). When I just need something for minor pain, like a headache - prescription meds are an over-kill.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Don't for get that you are allergic to many pain killers, but not all the pain killers.
You can make a trial, with all the pain killers, and find to which pain killer you are not allergic.
You can make attempt by group wise,and try one drug in each group and make a list.
You can use the drugs, not sensitive to to you, can be used with out any problem.
Wishing for a good luck. Thank you.
