What To Do For Cold Sore In Child?
My child has a cold sore. I put abreeva on (with a cotton ball) And washed my hands. later wiped the left over medicine off of her lip with a paper towel. I did not wash my hands after wiping her lip with the paper towel. About 4 hours later I touched my genital area. Even tough I used a paper towel, Im now worried I passed the infection to myself. Im extra worried because Im expecting. Please help!
