Can a child catch cold sore from toys that with has?

Yes, it is possible for a child to catch cold sores from toys that carry the virus. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which can be spread through direct contact with the infected saliva or skin lesions of a person who has cold sores. If a child plays with a toy that has been contaminated with the virus, and then touches their mouth or eyes, they may become infected.

Additionally, if an infected person coughs or sneezes on a toy, the virus can also be transmitted in this way. To prevent the spread of cold sores, it is important to avoid sharing toys and other personal items with someone who has the virus and to regularly disinfect any toys that may have been exposed to the virus.
