Mom Slams Doctors Who Landed Her Son In The Hospital Because Of Ibuprofen

An English mother (or Mum, if we’re being British today), is speaking out about the harm that was done to her child after he came down with chicken pox.

The child ended up in the hospital with septicaemia after Mom, Hayley Lyons, claim four different doctors wrongly prescribed the over the counter anti-inflammatory drug.

Thankfully her son Lewis made a full recovery despite being riddled with scars from the potentially life-threatening condition.

But 10 months on Hayley, from Warrington, took to Facebook to share these graphic images of her son’s horrific reaction to the drug.

“Four different doctors from our local Hospital (out of hours) prescribed it for Lewis as we couldn’t get his temp down. They even administered it to him in A&E, ” Lyons writes.

“This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory, it reacts with chicken pox making them go deeper into the skin tissue. It was only when we took Lewis to Alder Hey because the doctors from our hospital kept sending him home saying it was ‘just chicken pox’ we found this out. He ended up with septicaemia and was admitted straight to Alder Hey as soon as we arrived there. Only because we persevered an took Lewis to a children’s hospital off our own back was he ok. This could have ended up so much worse if it wasn’t for those doctors at Alder Hey and their advice, care and knowledge.”

If anybody recommends ibuprofen for chicken pox, please double check with doctors and do your homework before you give it to your children.

Fortunately, this child recovered unharmed with just a few scars. But other children have not been so lucky so PLEASE SHARE with other parents as a way of getting the word out to the world.
