[|Human|] My daughter visits her father on the weekends and Ive noticed that everytime she comes back from her visit, she is sick. Most of the time its strep. She had strep at least 6-8times in 2011. My daughter recently told me that her dad smokes in the house around her and her brother all the time. My question is can second hand smoke have something to do with her coming home sick every single time she goes over there?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! I understand your problem. However, smoking will not cause any type of infection in your daughter. You might want to rule out other causes. It might be due to the water in that house. Ensure that she takes proper treatment for Strep infections as they are known to cause Rheumatic heart disease in later life. Also, you must explain to your husband not to smoke around the kids as passive smoking is as dangerous as active smoking. It is not at all good for your kids' health. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts. With warm regards,
