thanks for your question i completely understand your question whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. In many people, it s marked by a severe hacking cough followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like whoop. If doctors diagnose whooping cough early on, antibiotics can help cut down coughing and other symptoms. They can also help prevent the infection from spreading to others. Most people are diagnosed too late for antibiotics to work well, though. Don t use over-the-counter cough medicines, cough suppressants, or expectorants (medicines that make you cough up mucus) to treat whooping cough. They don t work. consider consulting a pulmonologist, he can prescribe you medicines regarding the same thanks feel free to ask more questions may god bless your family with good health
