Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that Cold sore outbreak goes on its own, treatment /medication help only to ease your symptoms. In frequent outbreaks antiviral medication can help.
It's advisable for you to consult with a Pediatrician to start the antiviral therapy.
Hope this will Help
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Mahajan
