Doctors always recommend aspirin for infants, children and teenagers.
In children aspirin should be used under medical supervision or special conditions only. If your child has any illness, chicken pox or the flu, you should give them aspirin for their fever, aches and pains without checking with a doctor. With a few rare exceptions, acetaminophen or ibuprofen are safer for children than aspirin. Children have a risk of getting Reye's syndrome and aspirin toxicities if they take aspirin for chicken pox, the flu, or illness's that cause fevers. Don't ever give aspirin to a child or teenager for fever, or cold or flu symptoms, unless the doctor prescribes it.
