What Is Reye's Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. When Is a Doctor Visit Needed?
Whenever Reye’s syndrome is suspected, an analysis by a physician is necessary for prompt diagnosis and treatment. When the condition progresses, it may quickly become dangerous, and new, more serious symptoms can begin to develop within days.
Children and teenagers who currently have a viral illness, or who have recently recovered from one, and are experiencing the symptoms of Reye’s syndrome, should be evaluated without delay. This applies even without a known underlying condition or the recent use of aspirin.
