4 month old and cold sores?

Hello ladies just looking for some advice as I’m really quite scared!
I’ve suffered with awful cold sore breakouts all my life, so much so that the GP prescribed me daily antiviral tablets until baby is 6 months old to avoid passing anything on.

I’ve been happy as Larry assuming that everything is fine as I’m on these tablets, was just doing dinner and nose felt a bit itchy… realised I’ve got a small cold sore on my nose (well the bit between top of lip and bottom of nose if that makes sense)

I am in such a panic as I’m was kissing DD’s face (never lips) today and I do a lot of nose nuzzles instead of kisses as I do get a bit scared to kiss her just in case I had something as usually if I get them it’s always on the lips.

I am really freaking out that I might have passed this onto her. Obviously she’s absolutely right as rain at the minute but it is wouldn’t come out that quick…

im honestly so disappointed in myself. Never used to kiss baby or put my face near hers, but DP, friends, and family all kept telling me how I’m being silly I’m on the tablets and nothing will happen, as I haven’t had anything since she was born I started thinking recently yeah what the hell im being silly I love her so much and all I want to do is show her that affection, but looks like that has backfired…. I shouldn’t have known better!
