Cold sore and kissed a baby's cheek
I woke up with a cold sore this morning. Took my prescription medication right away; which stopped it from getting worse. Kissed the cheek of my friend's baby today without even thinking. What are the chances of her getting something?

There is a minor risk, just observe the baby and incase the child develops fever take the child to the pediatrician at the earliest.
