A mum whose baby girl suffered two strokes and a bleed to the brain after being exposed to a cold sore has issued a stark warning about kissing children. Zoe Picknett told how her beautiful daughter Teddy has lost the ability to speak after turning "floppy" and "cold" one morning. But 16-month-old Teddy was examined and Zoe told she was "fine" during the callout on 1 February, TeesideLive reports. The mum said someone with a cold sore had either kissed Teddy or shared their drink with her after doctors confirmed she was fighting an HSV-1 infection. The family were given the diagnosis of HSV-1, cold sore or herpes virus, just over one-week after Teddy was admitted into the hospital.
