Will my Ds catch a coldsore

8 replies

My sister gets coldsores , Ive never had one and I'm very careful to not share drinks forks ect with anyone , she had one today on her chin with a patch over it and she kissed my son on the cheek and give him a hug , what are the chances he will catch it , really annoyed tbh as she doesn't kiss her own children when she has one and I've often heard her say no mummy has a coldsore she also knows I have health anexity and worry about getting one or the kids getting one I've no idea why she would kiss my son when she doesn't kiss her own kids with one , I'm assuming she thought the patch would be enough but I don't think so

I get coldsores all the time, my dd 8 and ds15 have never caught one from me ì stilled kissed them and they would still finish my cups of tea.

The patch means it's unlikely to be passed on, but she shouldn't have kissed him. Did you say anything at the time?

I'm anxious about giving my kids cold sores . When I had my last one I thoughtlessly gave my 5 year old a kiss when he snuggled up to me. I was upset I'd done it but I also rationally know they aren't the end of the word, so have moved on. I'm sure your sister had a similar moment of stupidity!

My friend’s baby died after contracting the cold sore virus when she was a few days old. Your sister needs to keep her wits about her with other people’s children and babies, and keep her kisses well away from them.

No tbh I was tht shocked like did she just do that I just told my son to come here and closed the door and used sanitiser on his cheek then washed his face , she hasn't contacted me so she's probably aware of what she did knowing Id be pretty annoyed about it , I could cope with one but he's only little , if he has to suffer with them for life because she as a grown adult coudlnt do the responsible thing I don't think I could have same realtionship with her again I know that sounds a bit extreme but I have health anexity and she knows how I feel about things like that better than anyone

That's awful 💔💔 she doesn't kiss her own kids which is why I'm so angry 😡 I know this sounds stupid but just how I feel right now she jokes all time like I just drank out of your cup ect knowing how I feel health wise and i do worry about coldsores as r mum and dad also get them plus the fact she tells her kids she cant kiss them because she has one I feel like it was done on purpose she sat picking at the side of the patch and I told her to leave it as it could be getting on her hands more I think about it more I don't think I'll bother with her anymore , cant be annoyed with someone who would basically torment someone for their own amusement

That may sound dramatic but it's a very regular thing she says often too shes gunna give me one when she has one so then I can just get over it knowing how I feel about it , she also constantly uses covid too , o btw I tested positive for example while sitting beside you knowing you feel very anxious about that kinda thing
