Aspirin-based pain relievers are a cause for concern because of the possibility, though rare, of interaction with viral activity to cause Reye's Syndrome, a serious disorder that can lead to brain and liver damage. The AAP pediatrician group recommends not giving aspirin to children or infants where fever is present, except as prescribed by a physician.
