Cold sore on 15 month old

Pretty sure my 15 mo dd has a cold sore. Her dad had one last week, he gets them a lot in winter and has been so careful when he gets them, washing hands keeping his face away. But...

What can I do? Can I put normal cold sore cream on? Is it really bad she has it. I know the cold sore virus is dangerous to babies but she's 15 mo?

She also currently has a rotten cold, constant runny nose and a cough. Bloody nursery to blame for that!

I would take her to the doctor as you said a cold site is so much worse in babies and I don't think there are over the counter remedies for children. Hope she gets better soon
