2w w/cold symptoms but cough has lingered & my ribs hurt. tingly sensation on chest. scared of pertussis vaccinated last year & mom to 6mo vacc baby.

Prob not pertussis: both of u being vaccinated recently make pertussis less likely. Good idea 2 b careful of any illnesses around ur baby though. all family members should b vaccinated against flu and pertussis. With ur symptoms, I would see a doctor to see if u have pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.

Relax: Common things happen more often. URI's with cough often linger for a couple weeks. Your vaccination before babies birth gave it partial immunity & it has developed more with postnatal vaccines, so babies NOT at risk at all.
