Baby & cold sore

I'm sorry posting here for traffic

Met my friend today and she was holding my 6m old baby.

She kissed his hands and touched his face and after 20 mins or so I've noticed she has a cold sore hidden under make up. She said it came out 2 days ago.

When I took my baby off her she said what's the issue as I've not kissed his mouth. But he chew his hands after she kissed his hands.

What can I do now? Do you think he'll catch it? He's already had viral meningitis when he was 5 weeks old and I'm loosing the Plot. I'm so scared I can't breathe.

Any advice?

@megs912 To put your mind at ease please get medical advice. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Hope your baby is ok.

Unlikely at 6 months
