A member asked:
Can someone who doesnt show any symptoms give a baby whooping cough? would the person have to be sick to be contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: During their contagious period a person may/not have obvious symptoms of whooping cough. During the early phase they may only have what appears to be a runny nose, if that.
