Aspirin should not be used in young people under the age of 16 due to the risk of Reye's syndrome (a syndrome causing damage to the brain and liver)- use paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen instead

Kids under 12 should not take aspirin. It can cause something called Reye's syndrome, which can be fatal. This is especially true if they have a fever, chicken pox, or flu symptoms. There are children's versions of other pain/fever medication over the counter at most drug stores. Our pediatrician tells us children's Advil whenever we call her for various things. You may want to double check with yours.
