My sister was sick enough from chicken pox that her doctor told her to take aspirin. She died about a week later from Reye's Syndrome. So no, we were all not well again.
- burfog 8y agoBlame that death on the doctor being unaware of problems with aspirin. (many decades ago?) Chickenpox barely had anything to do with the death; many ordinary illnesses would give the same result.
- bogle 8y agoA quick check of what Reye's Syndrome was would have told you that it is both associated with chickenpox and the first paper to make the link to aspirin was in 1989 (add time for that information to be fully understood and disseminated).
- burfog 8y agoIt's also associated with the flu and, generally, with upper respiratory tract infections.
