Which Is The Test To Determine Whooping Cough?
I think my 8 yr old son may have whopping cough. He has many of the symptoms and has been sick for almost 2 weeks. He is going back to the doctor on March 20(tomorrow) and I am curious as to what questions I should ask our family physician. Also, what test(s) can be done to determine if he does in fact have whopping cough?? Thank you
