An EMT may administer aspirin to a patient if?
In most heart attacks, blockage of one or more of the coronary arteries initially causes pain and, as the blockage worsens, can lead to cardiac arrest. One of the most common forms of blockage is by a clot on the sides of the blood vessels.
Aspirin acts by making the platelets in your blood less "sticky" so that they won't attach to existing clots, thereby preventing the clot in the heart from getting worse. This gives the person more time to get to a definitive care facility and get the clot treated.

No you shouldn't give any aspirin to children under 16 because it can cause a disease called Reye's syndrome which damages the liver and brain.

Other painkillers such as Ibuprofen and Paracetamol (calpol) are safer and work better as a pain killer anyway.
