Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Stomach bug: If your contact was ill earlier in the week, she is likely much less infectious now. I imagine you didn't share silverware or drink from the same cup. Frequent handwashing and use of an alcohol based hand sanitizer can help limit the spread of disease.
