What is a contraindication for using aspirin?

  1. High fiber diet

  2. Flu-like symptoms in children and teenagers

  3. Excessive water intake

  4. Vitamin D deficiency

The correct answer is: Flu-like symptoms in children and teenagers

The other options are incorrect because they are not considered contraindications for using aspirin. A high fiber diet, excessive water intake, and vitamin D deficiency may have an impact on a person's health, but they are not considered to be a reason for someone not to use aspirin. Flu-like symptoms, however, can be a sign of Reye's syndrome, which is a rare but serious condition that can be triggered by taking aspirin. As a result, aspirin is not recommended for children and teenagers with flu-like symptoms.
