Your father was on some sort of immunosupressive therapy apparently. Most (around 90%) of ear infections are viral. A quick peck on the cheek is highly unlikely to have caused a terminal pneumonia in your father. Every day each of us is exposed to countless millions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and cold and, unfortunately, callous answers. Is it within the realm of scientific possibility? Yes. Is it your fault your father died? No. In fact given the time course you give of "a week" and the incubation periods of these types of infection I would actually revise the answer I just gave to you to less than one chance in a billion. I am so sorry your father died and hope you are slowly healing.

What happens if bacteria are not trapped before air enters the lungs?

If bacteria are not trapped before air enters the lungs by the respiratory system's natural defenses (such as the mucous lining and cilia in the respiratory tract), they may reach the lungs and cause infection. This can result in conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis.

The patient can succumb to the pneumonia infection, the lungs can fill up with fluid, and the patient die. People die from pneumonia all the time, and was a common cause of death before the advent of antibiotics. If the patient has a prescription, he/she should take it!


Can you get pneumonia in one day?

Rather than developing pneumonia "overnight", it is most likely that the lung infection had already started in the days before the diagnosis. Many people, especially young or active people, have "walking pneumonia" in which they do not feel especially sick until they are really, really sick. In elderly people or persons who are bedridden and cannot turn themselves from side to side, or when the cough reflex is depressed, pneumonia can develop very quickly.
