NEVER GIVE ASPIRIN TO A CHILD unless specifically authorized by a physician. When a child is taking aspirin, steps must be taken to minimize the risk of acquiring a viral illness such as influenza and varicella vaccinations.
In addition, other over-the-counter medications such as Pepto-Bismol and compounds containing oil of wintergreen also contain salycilates, and should not be given to children with colds or fever.
