You should seek medical attention right away if you have given your child Aspirin when they have chicken pox. When Aspirin is given to a child with chicken pox, it can cause them to get a condition called Reyes syndrome.

Aspirin should not be given to children because of concerns about Reye's syndrome
Aspirin--even children's aspirin--should never be given to children or teenagers with flu-like symptoms or chickenpox. Aspirin can cause Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening condition that affects the nervous system and liver.
Apparently the cause of Reye's Syndrome is not known or understood. BUT there has been an associative link found between the occurrence of the disease and the use of aspirin. That link is strong enough to indicate that children under the age of 19 years should not take aspirin or use oral or topical products that contain salicylates.See Related Links.
