Most people get cold sores on the mouth as a child by being innocently kissed. Getting cold sores on the mouth rarely has any thing to do with having oral sex or intercourse.

If you have herpes in yr mouth and you get pregnant will it harm the baby?

You should talk to your doctor about specific preventative care for you or unborn child. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask.I found these answers on the International Herpes Alliance pages.HSV can cause sores on the face and lips (facial herpes, for example "cold sores"), or sores on the genitals (genital herpes). HSV-1 is the usual cause of facial herpes, and HSV-2 is the usual cause of genital herpes. But either type of HSV can infect either part of the body. Either type can also infect a newborn baby.* HSV (herpes simplex virus) is most often spread to an infant during birth if the virus is present in the birth canal during delivery. * HSV can also be spread to the baby if he or she is kissed by someone who suffers from coldsores. * In rare instances, HSV may be spread by touch, if someone touches an active cold sore and immediately touches the baby. So monitor yourself and those that come in close contact with your new baby! Hope this helps.

Can shingles vaccine cause bell's palsy?

Yes, but only indirectly so. The herpes simplex virus (HSV 1) does not cause Bell's Palsy, but it can indirectly cause an inflammation to the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). This inflammation is what then causes Bell's Palsy. The nerve is unable to control the facial muscles it is supposed to control. The herpes virus is the one most often cited as the cause of the inflammation that results in BP. The Herpes Zoster virus (chickenpox and shingles) and BP is another frequent combination and is known as Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
