I was sick and I forgot to change my toothbrush. Will I get sick again?!


Question: I was sick and I forgot to change my toothbrush!. Will I get sick again!?
I might have had a bacterial infection, but I don't know for sure!. My doctor gave me one to take just in case!. I know that I'm ok if it was a virus, but what about bacteria!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No probably NOT ~ don't worry
Maybe you can put your tooth brush in hot boiled water for a minute or two!.

I would think the virus or bacteria would be DEAD by now - not much to live on on a toothbrush for days and days!. Plus Viruses & Bacteria only live a certain length of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it was bacterial then, yes, you should have changed your toothbrush!. There is a possibility you could reinfect yourself!. Bacteria live and thrive in damp places!. Why aren't you sure if you had a bacterial infection or not!? Your Doctor should have known before he prescribed you antibiotics!. A simple blood test would have shown if it was bacterial!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As long as you use the same toothbrush to:

- clean your shoes
- ream your crevasse
- fish for lobsters

you will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
