Hayley Lyons, from Warrington in England, had an experience that most parents can relate to: her son, Lewis, caught chicken pox. Lewis was in pain and unbearably itchy, so Hayley took him to see the doctor.

The concerned mom had no reason to question the doctor’s authority, so she did what she was told: she gave little Lewis ibuprofen. Hayley had no idea at the time that her son’s condition was about to get much, much worse.
