I don't know all the details about Reyes Syndrome, but I've heard it can be life-threatening. Funny how our entire family made it through childhood on " baby aspirin " , those little pink tablets, and my son has never even seen them!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Hi Janet, I think that you are not supposed to give children aspirin if they have flu symptoms. You can give it for other reasons, like for a tooth ache, etc. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
