When do symptoms of hsv 2 appear in newborn?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: Within 1-2 days of initial exposure to herpes symptoms will begin to appear, usually around or in the mouth. Tiny vesicles will form on and/or around the lips and sometimes in the mouth on the gums or hard palate. These vesicles eventually pop and sores/ulcerations form in their place. Fever can also occur with this and the condition is painful. It is a good idea shield infants from hsv+ people.
