A dose of Aspirin is used to treat muscle aches, toothaches, headaches, and cold symptoms, as well as to treat fevers. The salicylic acid in aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Aspirin may also be used to reduce pain and swelling due to arthritis. Children younger than 12 should consult their physician before taking this medication.

It is possible that your doctor will advise you to use aspirin in low doses as a "blood thinner" and if you have recently had surgery to reduce the risk of clogged arteries (such as bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, coronary stent surgery).
