Patient's question:
Today, I was chatting with a colleague (this colleague also has a bad stomach, often feeling bloated and pressure, and has not undergone thorough examination or treatment, nor does he know if he is infected with HP). His saliva in the form of droplets fell on my mouth! At that time, I didn't swallow! Just wiped it off with a stick and then licked my lips with my tongue, spat out some saliva! Later, I looked up information and found that HP can be transmitted through droplets! I want to ask, what is the probability of getting infected with Helicobacter pylori through droplet transmission?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, droplets will never be infected with Helicobacter pylori due to this. It is recommended that you relax your mind. You do not need medication now, as droplets are generally not infected with Helicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with a proactive attitude, as only this can reduce the patient's confidence in fighting Helicobacter pylori.
