First of all, don't worry too much. Although Helicobacter pylori is contagious, it is much less contagious than cold virus, so prevention is not difficult.

1, take Helicobacter pylori seriously

Taking it seriously doesn't mean that you have to prevent stomach cancer if you are infected with Helicobacter pylori, which is still far from stomach cancer. Seriously refers to the infection among family members. Studies have shown that all members in the same family are infected with the same strain of Helicobacter pylori, that is, one person in the family is infected and then transmitted to others.

Family members have the most opportunities to eat together, so the chances of infection are of course great.

2, independent tableware and dental appliances

Helicobacter pylori does not live in the air, so the route of infection is spitting. Naturally, the best way to prevent it is to eat separately. Individuals have their own tableware, and individuals have their own dental utensils, especially the feeding of infants and young children. People in China have a tradition of chewing, and this infection has basically not run away.

Then there is a mask to prevent saliva droplets when talking or sneezing, which will also have a certain preventive effect. Of course, it will be weird to stay at home, so this can only be a short-term expedient.

Don't think that eating something can prevent it. Nowadays, many questions are asking, what can kill or prevent Helicobacter pylori, and feelings treat it as a cold, and what to prevent is all unreliable. Helicobacter pylori is much more tenacious than influenza virus. At present, the effective basis for it is antibiotics. How can it be possible to take antibiotics for prevention?

3, active treatment as the case may be

It's not necessary to be treated if you find out that you are infected with Helicobacter pylori. As long as you have no symptoms and discomfort, you can completely ignore it. However, if you have digestive tract diseases, it's better to eradicate Helicobacter pylori first. Many recurrent gastritis and gastric ulcers are caused by it.

Moreover, it is best to have a screening in the family. Generally speaking, one person in the family finds out that there is one, and others are afraid that they have not run. If you want to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, let's stay as a family.

First of all, the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China is very high. In case of unfortunate infection, please don't be too afraid and worried, actively listen to the doctor's advice for treatment, relax your mind, and don't be overly nervous.

Secondly, Helicobacter pylori is mainly transmitted from family to family, which means that it is common for many members of the same family to be infected, so other family members should first do a Helicobacter pylori screening to check whether they are infected at present.

Third, no matter whether other family members have been infected with Helicobacter pylori, family members need to take precautions to avoid infection and cross-infection.

Specific practices are:

1, eat separately, in addition to using public chopsticks to clip vegetables, it is best to store the infected people's bowls, chopsticks, drinking cups, dental utensils, etc. separately;

2. Before eating and after cleaning the tableware, you can use boiling water to soak the tableware if possible. Helicobacter pylori is not resistant to high temperature;

3. Avoid mouth-to-mouth kissing when there are infected couples (of course, this is a bit difficult ~ it hurts feelings ~ let's talk about other prevention methods later);

4. Family members, whether infected or uninfected, are advised to add more alkaline foods, such as tomatoes, kiwis, bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, cucumbers, eggplants, carrots, potatoes, onions, leeks, garlic, lychees, longan and so on. At the same time, you can also eat more foods rich in lactoferrin, such as milk and quiet chewable tablets.

5. In addition, it is recommended to use Helicobacter pylori containing lactoferrin to prevent toothpaste-Qingyou toothpaste to brush your teeth. In addition, it is best for family members who have the conditions to avoid using the same tube of toothpaste, and each person has one, so as to avoid the "residual" Helicobacter pylori on the toothbrush "lurking" on the toothpaste surface when squeezing toothpaste, and then waiting for an opportunity to jump into another person's mouth ~
