The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Baby aspirin as it's known is actually low-dose acetylsalicylic acid and is not commonly used in children. Allergic reaction is rare but possible: rash, difficulty breathing, facial swelling may be seen.

But the important warning here is this: Using aspirin in children under 18, especially during a viral infection, can cause Reye syndrome, a serious liver-brain damage condition. For this reason, Turkey's Ministry of Health and globally recommend against aspirin in children.

If you're thinking about any medicine for your baby, definitely consult a pediatrician. For fever or pain, paramedics in babies generally prefer acetaminophen-based medicines (with doctor's guidance).
