Question
My husband brought home a computer from the store, which had been used by many people. He placed it directly on the sofa, and after the child touched the keyboard, they played with it for a while and then put their hands in their mouth. Could they get infected with hepatitis or other viruses?
Answer
It should be fine, but children still need to develop the habit of washing their hands before meals and after using the bathroom. You should tell your child not to do this in the future. During outbreaks of hepatitis A, there is a possibility of hepatitis A transmission, but general hepatitis B and C are mainly transmitted through blood and sexual contact, so transmission through the digestive tract should be hepatitis A and E. The prognosis for acute hepatitis is also good; if there are no symptoms now, it should be fine. Thank you.
