I have a 3 year old with a sore in his mouth. It is between his upper lip and his gums at the very top. It looks like a white circle and it has a red streak coming down to his teeth.
Cold sores come from the oral herpes virus (HSV1) it's rarely caused by HSV2 which is genital herpes. If you kissed him on the mouth when he had a cold sore then there is a higher chance that you could get it. Cold sores can take any where from 1-4 weeks to show up.Keep an eye out for any itching, burning and or tingling symptoms occurring around your mouth. Even if you do get a cold sore you could have had it long before you kissed him.ften, that tingling turns into an itch, and then into a burning feeling. With it comes the resignation-you're about to get a cold sore. Cold sore blisters can show up anywhere from 2 to 20 days after the initial infection-although seven days is the average.
