I’m 13, just took 2 aspirins and?
Brandy asked:
Ok, I’m a 13-year-old girl. I took 2 aspirins about 3 hours ago.
Then about an hour ago I threw up a little. I haven’t ate much today, just a little bit of pizza, 1 can of Coke, and 2 cups of water. It’s about 7 o’clock here. I took it because I had a sore throat, and a headache (probably a cold because my ears feel like they’re gonna explode every time I swallow, and I have a stuffed nose, but the mucus goes down my throat instead of out the nose..). I looked at the expiration date a little later after I took them and it said that it expired last November. Then I read the label and it said that any changes in behavior with nausea and vomiting occur, to consult a doctor because it may be an early sign on Reye’s syndrome. Should I be worried? Because I did throw up a little (it was only a little bit of water with a disgusting taste), but I’m not sure whether it is because I barely ate anything, or it really is an early sign. Right now I feel a tiny bit nauseous, like if I burp a little it kinda feels like I may throw up a little, but not much. It did help the sore throat a little and the headache a little too..
But should I be concerned? Or just ignore it?
I researched Reye’s syndrome and it scared me a little..
I’ve taken them before, they’ve actually worked.
They’re regular strength and lite coat.
I didn’t throw up a lot. I think it probably is just that I didn’t eat anything before taking them. My mom tells me to, I just forgot this time. Thank you Shirley’s Temple. 
I was just a little worried. I’m not immature so those of you who answered like you did, I’m not stupid, and I don’t call my mother “mommy”.
Get a life, please..

Call your doctor. Its the weekend but there should be somebody on call. they can at least allay your concerns or advise you what to do.
You may also be getting the flu. Call the doc. They’ll go over your symptoms with you and probably diagnose it over the phone. They may ask you to come in on Monday since you’re only 13, if things don’t improve. Hope you feel better. As for Reyes syndrome, there are quite a few symptoms. Are you feeling any others besides a little bit of nausea?
most likely you are coming down with the sinus infection and draining into your stomach I wouldn’t worry about Reye’s syndrome your asprin came up because nausea and got sick on your stomach from the drainage and possible a fever you may have.The asprin out of date want hurt you it may not work as well as it should.
Reye’s syndrome appears about a week after a viral infection, meaning about a week after taking aspirin. Two hours is way too short! You probably have nausea due to the sinus drainage.
Don’t take aspirin until you’re older, since you are right that it can lead to Reye’s syndrome in someone your age.
Who is taking care of you all day ?
A child of your age should never take aspirin.
Talk to your parents.
Hope you feel better soon
expired medicine wont hurt you…it just means it might be 90% effective instead of 100%. Your stomach was probably empty and didnt react well to the medicine. Next time, try to eat a little or drink some milk before you take anything.
