Patient's question:
Today I talked with someone who has hepatitis C. His spit got on my mouth. After that, I immediately washed my face with water, but I don't know if it was effective. Will I get infected?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis C is mainly spread through blood routes. The amount of virus in the saliva sprayed into your mouth should be extremely small and would never cause sepsis. It is absolutely impossible to get infected. Hepatitis C patients can, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatments in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid irritating foods. If you are still not sure, it is recommended to seek treatment in a regular and professional hospital.
