Varying: Reye’s syndrome is a serious condition that can occur in children and infants who have received aspirin in medication. The symptoms include frequent vomiting, sleepiness, diarrhea and rapid breathing (in babies), and possible aggressiveness or irritability. It is extremely important to check the ingredients in over the counter products to ensure there are no aspirin or salicylates in the product.
