Aspirin #2

Proverbs 4:20-22 God’s Word is my medicine.

We are going to continue talking on medication today. I give my mother one 81 mg. chewable aspirin a day because this is the doctor’s order’s. I crush it up and put it in her feeding tube. I also take one 81 mg. aspirin a day myself. The doctor put me on it several years ago.
Aspirin is called a wonder drug and has been around for more than a century. It is used for pain and fever relief also for the blood as well.
Aspirin reduces fever, it causes blood vessels to open causing heat to leave our body more rapidly. It’s also good for pain. Many people can only take buffered aspirin. It ‘s also good for arthritis and inflammation of bones, joints and body tissues.
You can be allergic to it so be careful. It should not be given to children under sixteen.
They say as soon as possible after someone has had a heart attack you should give an aspirin. Always ask doctor before taking aspirin or other medication.

Later,
