Reyes Syndrome in Children

Reyes syndrome, the causes are not fully understood
but it may be triggered in children who are given 'Aspirin' to bring down their fever, while suffering a viral illness.
The UK Gov had already banned the giving of Aspirin products to any child under 12 years old, has now hardened that advice to include all children of 16 years and under.
*I cannot find the latest UK Gov warning, but "Reyes Syndrome" will find similar on the Web.*
