A member asked:
Do you know of some cases of whooping cough that are very minimal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: About 30% of older individuals with pertussis have a nonspecific cough illness that can be mild. Symptoms will last more than 3 weeks--this is what distinguishes it from other infections.
