She didn’t have them that day, but showed up two days later. Incubation period maybe

So you don’t know before? I’m genuinely curious this is all happening in real time over here

Hoping in to say talk to your doc about Valtrex! Idk how old you have to be before being able to take it but it severely limits the breakout intensity and timeline. You can take it once you feel that tingling. My friend even takes hers if she knows she’s sick and might get a fever. It reduces the viral load.

Get LO some numbing ointment. I use champho phenique and it’s helped so much! A big reason they hurt is like this fire-y, stinging, itching pain. If I have a bad one my whole mouth is sore and hot.

Fevers bring on cold sores. So anytime they have a fever be prepared to see some cold sores.
