It's understandable to be worried, but please don't panic.
If your 6-month-old child briefly touched your mouth and then hers, the risk of infection is low but not zero. Here are a few points to consider:
1. Tonsillitis and sinusitis are often caused by viruses or bacteria that can spread through saliva or respiratory droplets.
2. Brief contact like what you described is less likely to transmit infection, especially if your child is otherwise healthy.
3. Watch for symptoms such as:
Fever
Irritability
Refusal to feed
Runny nose or cough
Changes in voice or swallowing
If any of these symptoms appear, consult your pediatrician promptly.
In the future, try to avoid close contact like this when you are sick, and always wash hands before touching the baby.
