Looking for answer to how do you cure whooping cough?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Treatment...: Whooping cough, or pertussis, is caused by a bacterial infection so treatment is with antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. So, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Vaccines largely prevent this disease.
