Suggest Treatment For Whooping Cough

Whooping cough in adults.

Although I'm not concerned about having it now, has this disease ever been known to go away without antibiotic treatment. I know some people with the plague, which was almost a certain death recovered, few but some. So is it possible to have whooping cough and live without treatment?
