I have no idea why it is called Chicken Pox. :confused: :)

It won't do you any harm. But don't take any more. Aspirin, even children's Aspirin can cause an illness called Reye's Syndrome. It is especially dangerous if you take aspirin and have chickenpox. This is a very dangerous illness, so your parents should not have any form of Aspirin in the house until all kids are over the age of 16 - 18.

DO NOT TAKE ANY MORE ASPIRIN!! NOT EVEN PEPTO-BISMOL IF YOU GET A STOMACH ACHE!! Pepto has aspirin in it.

Tell your parents that they should get rid of all aspirin products in your house. Use tylenol, motrin or advil instead.

Here's the answer! This one is interesting. :)

I guess if you pop them you get something akin to Hummous? :rolleyes: :)

I found another interesting one here

That's an interesting link. Any one of those seems plausible. I have no idea which one of those is correct. :)

If there is even a correct answer?:confused::rolleyes:

However, I cannot stress how important it is for a child NOT to take Aspirin! :eek:

Reye's Syndrome is noted to happen if you give a child who has chickenpox aspirin. This is a VERY dangerous illness, and I really prefer not to get into just how dangerous it actually is!

Aspirin or any aspirin containing product should ONLY be given with a doctor's prescription to children under the age of 16 - 18.

I'm in total agreement here. Please listen to J_9, she most definitely knows what she is talking about. Please tell your parents not to use aspirin anymore.

My parents already know. My dad was upset when he found out.

And Im an only child. ;]

Can I take children's advil and such?

Yes, take advil, motril or Tylenol, get the aspirin out of the house!!

The aspirin I took was Bayers.

And one of the pox I had on my chest popped.. but now there is something hard, like skin sticking out of it, and a pink ring around it..

And I noticed another lump like the one behind my neck at the base of my skull, right behind my ear.

Are you better? What did your doctor say? How old are you?
