I shushed my son and spit particles entered his mouth. he is 22 months. chances of transmitting oral herpes to him? my sore is a skin colored scab now

Minimal: It sounds like your lesion has healed. Clean his mouth well and watch for any signs of cold sores. Medication may help any outbreak. Preventive meds could be considered but as there is a low risk likely not. All the best.
