Aspirin is a medication primarily used to lower fever and alleviate mild to moderate pain from conditions such as muscle aches, toothaches, the common cold, and headaches. It is also effective in reducing pain and swelling associated with arthritis. As a salicylate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), aspirin works by inhibiting a specific natural substance in your body that causes pain and swelling. It is important to consult a doctor before giving aspirin to children under 12 years old. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe a low dose of aspirin to help prevent blood clots, which can decrease the risk of stroke and heart attack. After surgeries involving clogged arteries, such as bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, or the insertion of a coronary stent, aspirin may be recommended in low doses to act as a "blood thinner."
