That's 1000 cases when we restrict children from taking aspirin, it could be a lot more once we let them

No, it was under 1000 cases per year in the US before the association with aspirin was known. Over the next 14 years it dropped to about 2 per year.

I had Reye syndrome without having taken aspirin.

Obviously one person commenting doesn't disprove your point at all. But it's an odd feeling to be that person.

No, Reyes is very rare even when parents gave sick kids chewable baby aspirin almost like candy.

1000 cases in the US because there are no child friendly pain medications (sweet syrup and oral syringe) but by all means risk your child’s liver to prove us all wrong

Quite normal in the UK to use calpol (paracetomol) and nurofen (ibuprufen) in a 5ml syringe (doses at 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 as the child gets older).

What do you do in the US?

Paracetamol is acetaminophen (Tylenol) and both are commonly given to children. Aspirin typically only if a doctor says it's ok.
