My daughter gets colds and ear infections often, so I took her to an ear nose and throat specialist. The Doc said "if anyone is smoking around her they need to stop--it is helping cause these constant colds, etc." WELL--my ex and his wife are the only ones who smoke around my daughter; and still do. She just had a bronchial/bronchitis infection, and now it turned into pneumonia. I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if this is from the second hand smoke, and also if going outside when you have a broncitis infection leads to pneumonia? THANKS SO MUCH!!

I can't give you an answer to your question for I"m not a doctor but I do know that second hand smoke can cause a lot of problems and every person's immune system is different-if you want more concerte answers ask your daughters doctor and maybe also take your ex along so he will also know that the smoking is causing problems.
God Bless.
