Hi dear!
Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Mostly, a person can only get herpes type 2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection even if he doesn't have the genital sores. Don't panic and go to the doctor for proper treatment. Also get your baby checked for HSV-2 infection.
May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable starred feedback to help me assist you in a better way. Go to my profile to write a Review regarding your experience with me here at my Virtual clinic.
