A member asked:
Is it safe for me to give my four year old adult low dose aspirin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: We quit using Aspirin products with kids under 16 in the 1980's when a direct link to Reyes syndrome was found.Those kids developed liver failure coma and often died after Aspirin use during the flu or chickenpox.The disease has all but disappeared since we stopped using it.
