Cold sores are a type of herpes. Herpes is a disease that everyone carries, so your child will already have it. It will just remain dormant until someone gives it to the child through fluids.

Cold sores are a Herpes virus type I. Unless you have sores down there where the baby can contract it thru birth, the baby wont get them. Just do not kiss the child when you are broke out---especially kiss an open wound on the child. By the way, chicken pox, mono, among other things are a type of herpes virus.

Yes cold sores are a form of herpes, and if you kiss a child during an out break you could pass it onto a child. But the only way to pass it on at birth is if you have an outbreak near the birth canal.

Cold sores are herpes. If an open sore comes into contact with another person, the virus that causes herpes can be transmitted.
