The sore is also closer and has not weeped yet. Should I burst it open and let it heal that way?
I went to urgent care to get it tested but the doctor wouldn’t test it since it was closed and he didn’t want to break it open, he also said the viral load was probably too low now that it’s day 5 and I took antivirals, is this true? But still told me not to kiss my kids or husband, why wouldn’t the swab catch the viral load then? He did think it was herpes though by the look of it.
I’m afraid to change my daughters diaper without washing my hands or sanitizing or letting anyone else change it because I breast feed her so closely, and have this thought that he virus is falling off my face and landing on her, or falling form under my mask since saliva collects under there fork me wearing it all day— I try to change my mask several times but then my OCD makes me clean myself, change my clothes, clean all my countertops afraid that I dropped virus everywhere. Can the virus be on her clothes and when we change her diaper without cleaning our hands go in her diaper area?
