Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Cold sores (also known as HSV type 1 virus) are contagious, especially when blistering. Other people can contract the virus if using the same pillow cases, towels etc. In order to avoid spreading the virus, use your own bed sheets/pillow cases. Also remind her to cover her mouth every time she sneezes and immediately wash her hands. You should also wash your hands often and frequently open windows to allow fresh air to circulate through the house.
