As to over the internet: over the counter, over the internet, does it matter? Some people have adverse reactions to drugs no matter how safe you think they are. An example for me personally is Aleve. It's sold over the counter at any pharmacy, discount store or even gas stations all over the U.S. I can't take it. When I took it I became dizzy, had a headache and became extremely nauseous. I actually vomited and developed a rash. So what did I do? I went to a doctor. Guess what? I can never take Aleve ever again.
The point is that people can develop side effects even with something that most can handle. What do they do when they develop the side effects? What this mother did: take their child for treatment.
My cousin cannot take some antibiotics. How did she find out? She was sent home with a prescription from a physician. The reaction didn't happen in the office but rather at home. And what did she do? She went to the ER and was treated.
People sometimes have reactions to drugs. As long as it's recognized and treated then there should be no problems. In the case of the mother in the link, she addressed the problem by taking her daughter to the ER for treatment.
