25. So the issue here is the girl had a headache..
Why on earth would a parent give their child Motrin for a flipping headache. If the girl had a severe enough headache that required treatment I think a responsible parent would be calling the pediatrician at a minimum and not medicating them without proper medical supervision. That's my play on this but I worked in a peds hospital as a supervisor for five years and as a parent I would not give my child anything without consulting our pediatrician.

Also the syndrome this girl ended up with is very rare. If your child or for that matter you had a rash after taking a medication the most prudent thing to do is to seek medical care, at least that is what common sense tells me.
