My one month old baby has a whooping sound without cough for 2 weeks duration, i notice that after this sound as if something irritating her throat. ?

Likely a weak airway: Some infants can develop a rather worrisome breathing pattern that make a lot of noise from their rubbery airways. Some have an airway that is more rubbery than normal & make a crowing sound as they inhale & or exhale. I would have this checked out by your doc early next week.
