Can i give my 10 yr old 60lb son effervescent antacid & pain reliever it contains 325mg of aspirin,1000mg of citric acid&1916mg of sodium bicarbonate?

NO: Nothing containing aspirin should be given to a child unless prescribed by a cardiologist because of a heart condition or a rheumatologist for autoimmune disorders. Under no other circumstances should anything with aspirin be given.

No : Aspirin containing products should never be given to children or teenagers due to possible Reye's syndrome.
