I'm devastated to see what I think is a cold sore on my 18 month old's lower lip - is there anything else that it could be? Two small, red bumps next to each other in the corner of her mouth. I have had cold sores three times during her lifetime - first when she was born which meant that I couldn't kiss her for five days!! I have tried to be so, so careful not to touch her and feel terrible that it looks like she's got them anyway.
Has anyone got children with cold sores? Any treatments you'd suggest? Do they also get them when they are run down, like adults? she's had colds on and off since January when she started nursery two mornings a week...
