What Causes Recurrent Pneumonia?
I am wondering is it possible to get pneumonia for 3 years in a row both my husband and I have gotten it. Aslo, is it that easily spread? We both smoked for alot of year until last year when we got sick and we both stopped smoking. I thought that was suppose to help.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM!
Dear yes, viral or bacterial pneumonia may spread through aerosols. While you're coughing they are released and infects the others if they inhale it.
Low immunity status and associated chronic allergy may prone to infection and pneumonia. Smoking may decrease ciliary motility decrease the scavenger macrophages function provoke infection.
Avoid cool drinks and allergen. Use water vapor inhalation. please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care!
