Is baby aspirin used for anti inflammatory?

In babies? :): At a lose dose i'm sure it has some anti inflammatory properties but probably not enough in an adult to notice in terms of pain relief.

Not really: Aspirin at low doses has the ability to decrease the stickiness of your platelets and is often used to reduce chances of a stroke or heart attack. Aspirin does have anti-inflammatory properties, but its association with liver damage/failure and brain damage in kids (reye syndrome) led to rare use under the age of 16.
