Noooo: ive never heard that. Blisters in the mouth especially in kids are usually a result of viral infections. There are several that cause blisters but the cold sore is most common. Also blistering can occur as a result of repeated trauma and allergic reactions. Forget about worms but take your child to the doctor and get this sorted out.
