 [ Symptoms ] stopped taking flagyl on friday can i have some wine today  i am very worried about the side effects that comes with taking this medicine i finished my last two pills on friday and want to know if it is safe to have some wine today [ Disease ] well this is an interesting question i am not sure there is a straightforward answer because i am not sure anyone has studied this here is what we know smoking around infants and children can cause them to inhale second hand smoke which may be linked to higher rates of certain lung problems like asthma we also know second hand smoke contains harmful chemicals and that this smoke containing chemicals can settle on surfaces such as clothing draperies countertops and so on will coming in contact with this potentially toxic material on someone is shirt or fingertips cause problems for your baby my guess and it is strictly a guess  is probably not if this were the case the entire baby boomer generation would probably exhibit symptoms because nearly all of our relatives smoked and held babies at the same time you can reduce any possible risk by gently wiping off your baby with a damp cloth after he or she has been cuddled by someone you believe has tobacco smoke residue on their clothing or hands you probably do not need to be overly aggressive about this do not scrub the little one is skin off but a simple swipe should do the trick hope this helps
