A member asked:
A relatives dog licked the inside of my 4 month olds mouth. i'm really concerned. is my baby going to catch something from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: children get exposed to many viruses and bacteria in infancy and seem to handle them well. would not want animals to lick my mouth either, but your child should be fine
