My husband have a small herpes on a lip, i have 3 m old son, he didn't kiss him, but was in contact, how big is a chance that baby get a herpes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small but there: Herpes can be spread by contact, so try to have your husband cover the sore till it heals or not kiss the baby till it heals. If you baby develops any unusual bumps, fever, extreme irritability or extreme sleepiness you need to go to an er or your doctor immediately.
