There are elderly people with lung cancer at home, do you need to share the dishes and chopsticks if there are children at home?

Whether there is an elderly person with lung cancer at home and a child at home who need to divide the dishes and chopsticks is usually related to the specific situation. If the elderly and children have no history of close contact and have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus, they do not need to use the dishes and chopsticks separately. However, if there is a history of close contact or if you have not been vaccinated against the new coronavirus, it is recommended to use the dishes and chopsticks separately.

1. There is no need to use the dishes and chopsticks separately

1. No history of close contact: Since the new coronavirus is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact, it is necessary to pay attention to protective measures in daily life, avoid going to crowded places, wear masks when going out, and also pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, and maintain indoor air circulation. In addition, if the elderly and children do not show obvious symptoms of discomfort and have not been in close contact, there is generally no need to separate dishes and chopsticks.

2. Have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus: At present, there are a variety of new coronavirus vaccines on the market, such as inactivated vaccines, adenovirus vector vaccines, etc., which can play a role in preventing infection. If both the elderly and children have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus, the body will produce the corresponding antibodies, so there is no need to worry about infecting the child.

Second, you need to use the dishes and chopsticks separately

1. History of close contact: If the elderly have had close contact with children during their illness, such as eating together or sharing utensils, it may cause the child to be infected, causing symptoms such as cough and fever. At this time, it is not recommended to eat together to avoid increasing the probability of cross-infection.

2. Not vaccinated against the new coronavirus: If you do not inject the new coronavirus vaccine in time, the body's resistance is relatively weak and you are susceptible to the new coronavirus infection, so you should also avoid eating together. Patients can take Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, Golden Lotus Soft Capsule and other drugs under the guidance of doctors, which can have antiviral effects and is conducive to recovery.

In addition, it is also necessary to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and pay close attention to the changes in the body. You need to pay attention to a healthy diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy, irritating and greasy food.
