Answer: It turns out that during a respiratory illness, most commonly influenza (the flu) or chickenpox, giving aspirin to children can lead to a potentially fatal condition called Reye 's syndrome. Sudden brain injury and liver function issues are characterized by Reye's. It can lead to convulsions, a coma, and death.
