How contagious is a stomach bug and a cold if you only have mild symptoms?
My boyfriend has had a stomach bug for a few days now, and he only has mild symptoms—just a stomach ache. The problem is, he also has a mild cold. A friend of ours is celebrating her birthday today. I don't know if I should risk going with him, or even if I can go to see him myself, because of the risk of infection.
what do you all mean?
The symptoms are not an indication of infectiousity: only the germ that triggers these symptoms makes it!
