Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aspirin should not be given to a child with a viral infection due to the risk of developing Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition that can cause lethargy, confusion, seizures, and liver failure. Therefore, it is important to report any signs of lethargy or changes in level of consciousness as a potential symptom of Reye's syndrome. The other options listed are within normal limits and do not require immediate reporting.
