You should tell the patient to wait for the pharmacist. Aspirin is not recommended for use in children, due to the risk of Reyes Syndrome. If a parent comes to your counter trying to find aspirin to give to their child, you should have them speak to the pharmacist, so that an alternative can be recommended.
