A member asked:
Is it ok to give a 7 year old a baby aspirin if he has a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Aspirin is not recommended for children any more, except under very special circumstances. Giving Aspirin along with certain viral illnesses can have a life threatening complication called reye's syndrome. Give your baby Acetaminophen (tylenol), then see your doctor if the fever persists.
