A member asked:
My 9 month old has a cold sore on his top lip. is it dangerous at this age like it is for a newborn? i covered it with a polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) patch.

Cold sore: If he has never had this before then I would suggest you get it checked out as nine month olds do not often get cold sores
