    Would Ramadan be the cause for Hakeem's bronchitis?

    No. Bronchitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection or a virus. Ramadan would have nothing to do with it.

    I was thinking along the same lines. With him not eating or drinking anything during the day, it makes me wonder if his system is possibly more succeptible to viruses and such.

    Actually, it is more likely that his asthma has left him vulnerable. Fasting has been found to be extremely beneficial to the body - the immune system in particular.

    Studies have shown that fasting during an illness like the flu speeds the healing process because digestion taxes the body and takes energy away from the healing process.

    I spent quite a while playing with the UBB URL tag and whatnot.

    I'll be damned if you can get a link that long to parse correctly. That URL is ~178 characters long.
