Oral herpes is incredibly common. About 1/4 of us get it before we ever step foot into kindergarten even!  By the time we make it to the old folks home - almost all of us have it.   I'm sure you know lots of folks who get cold sores right?

As long as your daughter doesn't have so many cold sores that she can't eat or drink it's not anything to worry about. Only time will tell how often she has recurrences. She might get them everytime she's out in the sun or everytime she has a cold or she might only get them every once in a blue moon as the saying goes.
