COLD SORES
This is a common and harmless virus that most people will experience at some
time in their lives.
Signs that you've been infected:
Tingling or soreness of the lips (occurs shortly before the breakout of
sores)
Appearance of blister-like sores that break and ooze for 7 to 10 days
Sometimes accompanied by swollen neck glands, swollen lips, and a low-grade
fever
How it's transmitted:
Physical contact with the sores
Germs spread through sneezing and coughing
Mouthing or sharing toys
Sharing cups or eating utensils
Treatment:
Antiviral medications either applied in ointment form or taken orally can
shorten the length and severity of the breakout, especially if used in its early
stages (when your lips start to tingle or feel sore).
Topical anesthetics
Sun-protective ointments and lip balms
For soreness and itching, enjoy a well-placed popsicle on your lips.
Additional precautions to take:
Cut your child's fingernails as short as you can to discourage picking at
the sores.
Wash your child's hands regularly so he doesn't infect other parts of his
body or share the germ with his friends.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Infectious Diseases does
not recommend exclusion of children with cold sores from daycare or school, but
advises covering the sores with clothing or a bandage.
