A member asked:
Been having whooping cough for a year and a half, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for consult: Though whooping cough is well known for the "100 days cough", if you are still coughing a year or more later i would look into other diagnostic possibilities. Either your pcp or a pulmonary specialist could do some lung function studies on you to better define the process & come up with a plan for management.
