Cold Sore
8 Answers
I’m 22 and have woken up to a cold sore on the side of my mouth.
I am concerned about my 6 month old daughter contracting this virus as I know it can be really harmful to babies, I am obviously avoiding kisses and restricting how close I am etc. She has also had all her injections up to date.
Is there anything else I can do or I should be aware of?

yes
acyclovir

you can buy it over the counter
but you need to be quick
at 22 this is unlikely to be your first attack and you should start acyclovir when the patch of skin( it is always the same) starts tingling
fascinating disease - altho not for you - completely unrelated to covid in case you were having a spzzie

Apart from the obvious no kissing rule, try not to touch your cold sore as it can be passed on that way. The blister stage is most infectious I think. Wash hands often, and treat the cold sore with Zovirax or own brand cream. If it’s a really bad/big one (I’ve had some of those) tablets from the doctor are best. Hope you heal quickly. Best wishes.
