Throat related issues
Can oral herpes cause excessive coughing and throat irritations that won't go away? Would the symptoms for elderly people who have herpes be more severe than someone younger? If someone with genital herpes contaminates objects(tv remote, keyboards, phones,etc) that are used with other people (which arent sexual items), what are the chances of the virus transmitting?And if so would they have hsv 1 or 2?
No, the folks you live with are not having coughing symptoms from herpes.
No, you aren't going to transmit the virus by forgetting to wash your hands and then touching things.

the people i live with have coughing symptoms they never had before and im starting to think that its related to herpes. they have possible symptoms but mild. could it be spread by saliva or by kissing?
what i meant by contaminating is if i were to touch my genitals, forget to wash my hands and touch other objects. could it be spread that way? lets say i forget to wash my hands and touch food, someone were to eat it.what are the chances of them getting it?
herpes is not typically a respiratory virus. You aren't going to cough and contaminate objects like you do say cold and flu viruses.
if you have a cough and throat irritation, odds are it has nothing to do with herpes.
