He's only 5 - on Thursday we went to the dentist for him to have a poorly tooth out, it's been bothering him for weeks and he's had antibiotics for it.
I feel bad enough about this, but yesterday, I noticed he had a spot sort of thing on his lower lip, on the same side.
I know they were doing things with suction tubes and so on, it did take a while so it's possible something could have caught on his lip during the procedure? But it does look a bit like a cold sore, I think, and he says it itches.
Today it had a scab on it but that came off when he was eating.
The thing is, I've never had a cold sore, no one in our family has, and I'm struggling to work out how he could have picked it up if it is one.
Any thoughts appreciated - and what on earth do I do with it, if it is?
