the mouth. Spreading the virus within families is common. Do not
kiss the child or allow the child to kiss others where direct contact
with the sore may occur. While it may be
impossible to keep your child from touching his eyes when he has a cold
sore, try to keep him from doing so whenever you can. HSV-1 can cause
ocular herpes, a serious eye infection. If your baby develops a painful
sore on his eyelid, eye surface, or on the end of his nose, call your
pediatrician promptly. Your child may need antiviral drugs to keep the
infection from scarring his cornea. In rare cases, ocular herpes can
weaken vision and even cause blindness.
