Cold Sores Contagious Babies
Medical professionals please help?
yesterday this little girl had one and it was all scabbed over and looked almost gone except the scab...so after she picks the scab off her cold sore and doesnt wash her hands! she touchs my daughter (on her clothed area) im NOT sure if she touched our daughters hands or not but I still wiped them off with baby wipes. Although after she ripped the scab off though you couldnt even see that there had been a cold sore there.....so do you think it was healed up enough that it wasnt contagious?? However as we were I see her touching my daughters hand with her finger that she probably used to pick the scab, so I wiped my daughters hands off with baby wipes right away before leaving and and then she also kissed my daughter on the head where it is covered by all hair, we live 5 min. away so I rushed home bath her and I washed her hair very thoroughly but im still extreely worried. I had cold sore BEFORE I had my daughter, if that makes a difference, with her having antibodies
I'm not a medical professional or anything, but I think you seem to be a bit over-obsessed with contamination fears. Do you have OCD? This question put me in the mind of the widely recognized symptom of germs/contamination fears. Look, if she washed her hands soon after she touched the girl with the cold sore, there is very little risk at all that she could get the virus to cold sores. And even if she did, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Although cold sores are miserable
Baby Bronchitis
Baby bronchitis is basically a less severe case of pneumonia and it is from this infection that pneumonia usually develops from if left unchecked.
Bronchitis is an infection brought about by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, i.e. a respiratory infection. It can be acute or chronic.
Acute bronchitis is usually severe and lasts only a couple of days, whereas chronic bronchitis can last months or even years. Much depends on one's immune system
Bronchitis has many causes. A virus, bacteria, heartburn, even smoking, can all lead to a bronchitis infection. It is a very common infection, much like the advanced version of the common cold.
Symptoms may include, a dry cough that will entail mucus being brought up out of the lungs, headache, chills, fever, soreness or tightness in the chest, wheezing and problems breathing. Children with this infection are more susceptible to other infections. Children with asthma, or who are victims of secondhand smoke, are more susceptible to a bronchitis infection.
Your child's physician will listen to your child's chest and breathing and then if he feels it is necessary will order an x-ray to take a further look at your child's chest. If the infection is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not work and therefore the infection will have to run its course. You will just have to make your child as comfortable as possible during the course of the infection, and wait for your child's body to do its job.
Rest, lots of fluids, and over the counter medicines are all you can do to treat this type of bronchitis.
Baby bronchitis is extremely contagious, it can be contracted by coughing, sneezing, or through touching places that the infected person has touched.
