Toddler at home, baby in nicu with neonatal herpes simplex 1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe: Sorry about your neonate. Your toddler has almost certainly been exposed and infected, whether symptomatically or not, with the same virus. They are highly unlikely to be at significant risk.
