Toddler Totally Healed After Suffering From Infection on the Face Due To Herpes When Relative Kissed Her

A toddler 'eaten alive' by herpes after she caught an infection from a relative who kissed her has now fully recovered. Sienna Duffield is now free from the contagious virus.

Savina French-Bell, Sienna's mother, needed to wash the bed sheets daily and also throw out the clothes when painful blisters spread on the three-year-old's face. Her daughter was admitted to hospital when she just turned two in October 2015. She was then placed on an iv drip since she stopped eating. "She stopped eating and every day for eight months was horrific, there was always blood on her clothes, and I was scared to take her outside." Savina quoted by The Sun saying.

Savina, 21, sought advice for creams and antibiotics that took like forever until her problem with the toddler was solved. Doctors were shocked and were not very sure how the little girl got such an intense condition.

When Sienna developed ulcers in the mouth, the infection spread from her mouth to her cheeks, and above her eyes, as reported by Metro.

About eight months of antibiotics did not work out to treat the infection. Savina put flucloxacillin to treat severe eczema, and she saw some improvements.

Savina was told that her daughter has eczema aside from that infection that is why the condition went even worse. It had taken a long time before the sores on the face healed because the little girl's body was so weak.

Sienna's skin would be stuck to pillows every day and blood were literally everywhere. It was discouraging on the part of Savina, but she had to fight for the child.

It was hard for Savina to keep the toddler from scratching herself, but she would have some surfaces such as sofas and pillows in the house to do the scratching. But who knew that after a few months of suffering, both Sienna and Savina were freed from the nightmare of the infection.

Sienna's face is now bright and looking fabulous without any significant mark of the disease. There is a possibility of having the infection back, but the mother and child are praying it won't happen again.
