Patient's question:
Male,, recently had a lot of overtime, bleeding gums when brushing his teeth in the morning. I want to consult about: I share an apartment with colleagues, there are 8 people in total, one bathroom, and one washbasin. I brush my teeth at the washbasin. Due to the bleeding gums when brushing my teeth in the morning, I spit into the washbasin after brushing, and then rinse it with water. What I'm upset about is that some colleagues use the washbasin to fill it with water. Since the drain can be blocked and quickly opened, I open it quickly when I brush my teeth. I'm afraid that they might accumulate water in the washbasin, and then I happen to brush my teeth there, making it difficult to rinse the washbasin clean, which might contain the virus and infect them. It has been two months, will it still infect them?Doctor's answer:
If you mean that kind of contact, there is still a possibility of infection for the other party. However, if your colleague has been vaccinated against hepatitis B and has antibodies, then there shouldn't be a problem. After all, you all live together every day. In this case, it is recommended that your colleague should also go to the hospital to get tested for the hepatitis B two pairs of half (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc). If there are antibodies, then there is nothing to worry about. If there are no antibodies, it is also a good idea to get vaccinated against hepatitis B in a timely manner.Additionally, during the treatment of a person with chronic hepatitis B (), the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
