If there is an elderly person with lung cancer at home and there are children at home, do we need to share the dishes and chopsticks?

Whether there is a lung cancer patient or a child at home and whether separate bowls and chopsticks are needed usually depends on 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 separate bowls and chopsticks. However, if there is a history of close contact or the new coronavirus vaccine has not been received, it is recommended to use separate bowls and chopsticks.

1. No need to use separate bowls and chopsticks

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

2. Vaccinated against the novel coronavirus: Currently, there are many new coronavirus vaccines on the market, such as inactivated vaccines, adenovirus vector vaccines, etc., which can prevent infection. If both the elderly and children have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, the body will produce corresponding antibodies, and there is no need to worry about infecting children.

2. You need to use separate bowls and chopsticks

1. History of close contact: If the elderly have close contact with children during their illness, such as eating together or sharing tableware, the children may be infected, causing symptoms such as coughing 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 the new coronavirus vaccine is not given in time, the body's resistance is relatively weak and it is easy to be infected by the new coronavirus, so it is also necessary to avoid eating together. Patients can take Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, Jinlianhua Soft Capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, which can play an antiviral role and help recovery.

In addition, you need to go to the hospital for regular checkups and pay close attention to changes in your body. You need to pay attention to a healthy diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy foods.
