No aspirin for babies...

This bit of information came from my school's nurse:

Please review the label of all medications that you administer to your children when they have a fever. Consult your doctor before giving them anything. Do not give them aspirin or other products that contain salicylates. Another name for aspirin is “salicylate”. There is the possibility of Reye’s Syndrome in children with influenza or viral illness, that receive salicylates.

Remember to tell grandparents about not giving aspirin for a fever! Some of us grew up on baby aspirin, and our parents may think it’s OK to give it for a fever.

I checked my bottles of Tylenol and Motrin - those are safe and do not contain salicylates. The linked website confirms that.

Also, this page gives lists of medications (over-the-counter and prescription) as well as topical products that contact salicylates.
