Can I Have A Whooping Cough?
I have had a cough for 5 weeks now. I have postnasal drip. But more concerning is the fact that I cough extremely hard and then am gasping for air. It feels as if I have swallowed something down the wrong pipe. When I finally do get a breath, I burp. Could I have whooping cough?
