Infection in children
Hi doctor, wanted to know that how often can children get affected by bacteria or virus from patients.
Actually my daughter is 4 months old and my cousin aged 25yrs just had gone through a operation related to head (acaustic neuroma), after operation he is been staying in our home only. I am bit cautions that it wont be causing any problem to my 4 months old baby.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Acoustic neuroma is not contagious nor is there a chance of getting infection if the surgical wound is clean and uninfected.
I don't think there is any problem here.
Best regards.
