Child makes whooping sound when inhaling but does not have the cough, is that a symptom of whooping cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whooping cough: Yes absolutely. But it can also be croup. Go straight to the pediatrician's office asap. If they are having difficulty breathing, go straight to the er now.
