What Could Cold Sores Around Mouth Corners In Children Suggest?
My one year old son looks like he has a cold sore on the corner of his mouth. It is white, open and looks sore... but it doesn t seem to be bothering him. I have been told by my mother in law (who has the virus) that it is not possible for children this young to get it. Is this correct?

Hi,
It can be Here's zooster infection, which is sore ulcer around the lips. You can use Herpax ointment thrice daily, this is antiviral ointment. The condition persist for life long but it is not dangerous or serious at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
