Was around child who had eczema herpeticum, but already had iv meds a week prior, recovered. all sores healed. didnt touch child. should i worry?

I wouldn't : The EH condition is based on a specific vulnerability of the kid, not one transferred to the people in their environment. I suppose you have a normal immune system. The primary germ involved is not contagious at your point of exposure.
