Coldsore, can other parts of my face touch my baby?

I'm not 100% sure but I may have a cold sore on the inside of my bottom lip due to being run down. I've suffered with them since I was little.

Can I use my nose to kiss my baby in the mean time?

Yes. Acyclovir as often as you can and wash your hands every time.

Use the compeed patches. They're excellent for stopping spread
