Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) should absolutely not be used in babies and children to reduce fever. Using aspirin during a viral infection seriously increases the risk of Reye syndrome, which is rare but can be fatal.
In babies and children, safe and recommended medicines for fever are acetaminophen (paracetamol) or ibuprofen adjusted for age and weight. Exactly which medicine, what dose, and how often to give should always be determined by your child's pediatrician.
In short: Never give aspirin for your baby's fever; consult your doctor for the correct dose.
