Description: Easy to understand information for patients on whooping cough including symptoms, causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Medical information for patients Whooping cough is an infection of the lungs with a bacterium known as Bordetella pertussis. It can effect anybody, but causes most trouble in the very young. It can start off like an ordinary cold (catarrhal phase) for 7 to 14 days, but tends to worsen with periods of uncontrolled coughing. These are associated with a "whooping" noise during breathing in between bursts of coughing and often carry on until the child actually vomits. These episodes frequently cause the child to go blue and can be very worrying for the onlooker. Between the periods or spasms of coughing the child seems fine. Often exercise or laughing brings on a spasm of coughing.
