To reduce the risk of Reye's syndrome, avoid giving aspirin or medications that contain aspirin to your child to treat viral illnesses. Other names for aspirin include:

Acetylsalicylic acid
Acetylsalicylate
Salicylic acid
Salicylate
If your child or teenager has the flu or chickenpox, use other medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) to reduce fever or relieve pain. Unless specifically advised by your child's doctor, don't give aspirin to anyone younger than 19. Check the label on any medication you're going to give your child, because aspirin can show up in some unexpected places. Some products that contain aspirin include Alka-Seltzer, some Excedrin products and Pepto-Bismol. Also, check with your doctor before giving your child any alternative or folk remedies. Some of these also contain aspirin. If a full ingredient list isn't available, don't give the medicine to your child without checking with your doctor first.
