A member asked:

What to do if i have whooping cough, should i see a doctor now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is important than any such condition be confirmed so the public health officials can contain any outbreak. Management of symptoms can be frustrating if this is confirmed.They call this the "100 days cough" for a reason. If it is not whooping cough, your improvement will benefit from a proper diagnosis and a different care plan.
