A member asked:

My 8 year old son has struggled with a fever for 3 days. can i give him a disprin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not recommended: Disprin contains aspirin. Aspirin is not advised for children because it is associated with a VERY RARE condition or side effect called Reye Syndrome, which can seriously affect a child or young teen's liver and brain.
