Aspirin is an NSAID also known as non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs that is widely used for relieving mild to moderate inflammation and pain.

The reason why aspirin causes Reye's syndrome is when it enters your body it can worsen damage to mitochondria and when damaged the mitochondria causes levels of ammonia to increase in your blood which is followed by swelling of your brain.

Aspirin is most commonly associated with Reye's Syndrome.

Reye's syndrome, is a rare but also very serious condition that causes swelling in the liver and brain.

Reye's syndrome can occur at any age but usually affects children and teenagers after a viral infection, most commonly the flu or chickenpox.

You can take ibuprofen and BC powder together but it's not recommended as they can interact with each other and lead to possible bleeding and gastrointestinal ulcers.

BC powder and Tylenol can be taken together.

You can also take Tylenol with Birth Control pills as well as they don't interact with each other.

The difference between aspirin and acetaminophen is aspirin is an NSAID and pain reliever while acetaminophen is not an NSAID.

Acetaminophen can relieve fever and pain and headaches but not inflammation like aspirin can.

You can safely take aspirin and Tylenol together as they do not interact with each other and can provide additional pain relief.

It's safe to combine and take aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and acetaminophen together.

Although you should not take aspirin, naproxen or ibuprofen within 8 to 12 hours of each other.

Aspirin is not an Ibuprofen as they are different medicines and are not interchangeable.

Aspirin and Ibuprofen are both NSAIDS but Ibuprofen is mostly for relieving pain while aspirin can help prevent blood clots and reduce fevers while ibuprofen cannot.

People who cannot take aspirin unless directed by a doctor are those with lung disease, asthma, have liver disease, kidney disease, kidney problems, or gout.

1000 mg of aspirin a day is not too much for most people.

The maximum dosage per day of aspirin that is safe to take is up to 4,000 mg of aspirin.

Seniors should take 81 mg of aspirin daily to help prevent heart attacks, strokes and other heart related health issues including blood clots.

For most people who are overall healthy it is OK to take an aspirin everyday.

However you still are at risk of developing some side effects which are serious which include gastrointestinal bleeding.

Many guidelines recommend long-term use of aspirin for prevention of cardiovascular events among patients with prior cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors.

However, aspirin is associated with increased risk of major gastrointestinal bleeding.

Aspirin does help some with blood clots as aspirin can help thin the blood.

To prevent blood clots and heart attacks, strokes etc it's recommended that you take at least one aspirin per day.

However in some cases, aspirin will not provide enough protection.

Additionally, the aspirin may not work to dissolve a clot properly.

Instead, it may be better as a preventative measure after a clot has been thoroughly dissolved by another medication.

To dissolve blood clots naturally you can eat foods such as natural pineapple or take some nutritional supplements with bromelain.

You can also dissolve blood clots naturally by eating other foods and drinks that can help dissolve blood clots such as garlic, kiwi, kale, spinach, red wine, and grape juice.

Also drink more water. Increase your exercise.

There's no proven way to treat a blood clot at home with natural remedies.

If you try to dissolve a blood clot at home, it may take longer for you to get proper medical treatment.

This can increase your risk of developing a potentially life threatening condition.

Ice won't help a blood clot because the clot is in your vein but if you have swelling from muscles swelling then the ice can help.

The first signs of a blood clot include trouble breathing, chest pain and shortness of breath.

Other first signs of a blood cloth include.

Throbbing or cramping pain, swelling, redness and warmth in a leg or arm.
Sudden breathlessness, sharp chest pain (may be worse when you breathe in) and a cough or coughing up blood.

Blood tests can, in some cases, be used to rule out a blood clot.

Ultrasound provides a clear view of your veins and blood flow.

CT scan of the head, abdomen, or chest, may be used to confirm that you have a blood clot.

This imaging test can help rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

A thrombus, colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis.

There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated platelets and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein.

The substance making up a thrombus is sometimes called cruor.

Bumps in your veins mean you may have a condition known as Phlebitis.

Phlebitis which is inflammation of the veins.

The Phlebitis condition that causes inflammation of the veins is also known as ThromboPhlebitis which is caused by one or more blood clots in a vein or veins.

The Blood Clots in the vein cause inflammation of the veins which lead to the bumps in the veins.

When you have bumps in your vein or in your veins you should see your doctor as you are likely experience blood clotting which can be dangerous and lead to heart attacks, strokes and even death.

Thrombophlebitis usually occurs in leg veins, but it may occur in an arm or other parts of the body.

The thrombus in the vein causes pain and irritation and may block blood flow in the veins.

Also bumps in your veins can be simply varicose veins and if so the bumps can be harmless but you should have it checked out to be sure.

To increase blood flow and decrease pressure in your veins, you should elevate your legs above your waist several times throughout the day.
