My baby had a small fall (a bit of a faceplant whilst crawling). Later we noticed a small red mark on her lip, which we put down to the fall (as she has a number of new teeth). It's now a day later and the red mark has developed into what looks like a cold sore. I'm a bit worried about this as I understand that this can be fairly serious for little ones (she's 11 months). How can I tell if it's just a small cut that's gone 'manky', or an actual cold sore?


I will take her to the doctors tomorrow and get theri advice, but if anyones had similar problems with their little one, I would love to hear your view?


Thanks

from what i've read the main risk is for newborns, especially in the first 4 weeks. At 11 months i'm pretty sure that it doesn't present any serious risk although they are very contagious so you may want to take action to ensure that she doesn't pass it on to another part of her body, especially the eyes - perhaps put some socks on her hands until you can confirm with the doctor?

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
