Oklahoma City – A mom is upset after her one-year-old daughter got a horrible case of Herpes from a teacher at an Oklahoma City daycare center, according to a report from WTVR. Consuela Smith said her daughter is “in pain day and night”.
“She started getting blisters all around her mouth and bleeding,” Smith said.
After her daughter’s doctor confirmed the child had Herpes, Smith said she immediately contacted the daycare.
“I told her [the daycare director] what she had and they told me the worker does have this,” Smith said.
“Herpetic stomatitis is basically when you have multiple cold sores in your mouth,” Doctor Ryan Brown explained. “Cold sores are normally caused by Herpes simplex one virus. They are very easily spread, by touching and rubbing something else or saliva.”
