Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reye syndrome is a rare but serious condition that can be triggered by giving aspirin to a child who has a viral illness, such as a cold or the flu. It is therefore important to avoid giving aspirin to a sick child. Antibiotics, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are safe to give to a sick child, as long as they are used appropriately and according to the instructions of a healthcare professional.
