Yes: Tell your doctor about any medication or erbal remady to be sure. Aspirin comes across in small amounts & can be used with caution. A link with reyes syndrome makes it a bad choice any time baby has a viral illness. Ibuprophen is not given directly to infants the first six months but <1% of mothers dose comes across, making it a good alternative even with newborns. Some allergy meds have pbs.
