Question 1

can the morning after pill appear in a blood test for whooping cough?

Accepted Answer

Nocturnal cough: Nocturnal dry hacking cough may be an asthma equivalent or be a reaction to excessive dryness or to dust collecting articles in your bedroom. The latter 2 conditions can be corrected with a humidifier and removal of the dust collectors. If this isn't the problem, asthma inhalers including a corticosteroid component may help. Discuss with your MD.

Accepted Answer

Cough,chills: Cough associated with true shaking chills are often the first sign of pneumonia. An accompanying fever, chest pain, wheezing, or shortness of breath would also be concerning. See a physician for careful evaluation and any appropriate testing.

Treated?: Were you diagnosed with it and treated appropriately? If so, the cough can linger for a few weeks, some months after the infection is treated. If you did not get it treated, go now, this is very contageous.

Main leads: Would be postnasal drip, reflux induced or pure asthma or reactive airway disease with many others possible, but less likely. Combinations of the above are also possible. Talk to your doc about your symptoms and take a log with all details included as you started on this platform.

Question 7

i am experiencing loss of voice, cough that gets worse with lying flat, night time, and with barky, hoarse, or hacking sound, with phlegm or mucus, and without blood in phlegm, without no phlegm or mucus, without a whooping sound upon breathing in, persis

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Doctor can check for strep throat. Loss of voice is often viral. Cough meds are for decreasing the urge to cough, due to tickling, mucus, or mild throat irritation. Coughing is desired and is needed when there is mucus lower in the throat, or coming from the lungs (otherwise, mucus may stay in the lungs longer). Menthol lozenges that have anesthetic can help. Guaifenesin with DM lessens cough.

Question 8

i am experiencing fatigue, nausea (severity: moderate), cough (unaffected by: lying flat, exposure to secondhand smoke, night time) (associated with: barky, hoarse, or hacking sound, phlegm or mucus) (not associated with: blood in phlegm, whooping sound u

Accepted Answer

URI: You could have one of a number of respiratory illnesses. COVID 19 is on that list.  Your doctor can help to determine what is going on and if further assessment is needed.

Question 9

i diagnosed and treated me for whooping cough. is it normal for me to be coughing up phlegm and blood and having a runny nose with mucus and blood?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whooping cough, or pertussis can cause excessive, protracted coughing.  Small membranes in the throat may burst with hard coughing and blood may come up with phlegm.  You may benefit from meds to supress the cough, especially to help you sleep.

Question 10

why could you get an inconclusive result on a whooping cough test?

Accepted Answer

Time: Whooping cough occurs in three stages- the first causes runny nose and sneezing and people usually don't know they have it- this is the time it is easiest to get a positive result. 
Once the cough starts- the second phase, it is more difficult to get the bacteria from a nose sample and so that would lead to an inconclusive result. Doctor's can generally diagnose by just hearing the cough
