Pneumonia reason?

2024-01-07 06:33:03
My 69 year old mother who has lung cancer and was on immunotherapy.. was having coughing since 4 months, doctor doubted on pneumonitis.. her oxygen level was dipping a bit too but she was fine! Now suddenly since 1 week her oxygen level started dipping 70 but she had no cold or flu and so she is admitted and doctor saying she has pneumonia.. treatment is going on.. But how she got pneumonia? I had a normal cold one week ago, Could I have given my mother pneumonia? Could my simple cold have given my mother pneumonia?
