Hi, guys. My sister got some kind of fungal disease called actinomycosis. I have never heard about it, but I am afraid I could easily get it from my sister. I would appreciate if you could tell me something more how I can prevent that from happening to me. Thank you in advance.
Hello to you too. Actinomycosis is caused by a bacterium called Actinomyces Israelii. It can be found normally in nose and throat. The infection commonly affects face and neck. I think that this infection is not contagious. Therefore, you don’t need to worry a lot. You should consult a doctor just to be sure. I hope everything will be all right. Good luck! Bye!
Hi, there. I have heard that most cases of actinomycosis are caused by poor oral hygiene. You should prevent this. It is recommended to brush your teeth after every meal. Use toothpaste with fluoride. You should floss your teeth once a day. Also use mouth wash once a day. Limit the amount of sweet that you take. I hope this helps. Bye!
