Pass illness back and forth

Hi

Are you and your baby passing thrush back and forth?

Does it mean that once I infect my child and once my child infects me? And it happens very often/all the time?
  

Top answer

Yes, it does. We say this when both individuals remain sick for an extended period of time, because as one starts to get better the one host spreads the germs back to the recuperating host, so they are just passing it back and forth.
