@drjoe_md: Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium *Bordetella pertussis*. It is characterized by severe coughing fits that can end in a high-pitched "whoop" sound when the person breathes in. The disease primarily affects infants and young children, but it can occur in people of any age. Symptoms typically begin with mild respiratory issues resembling a common cold, but as the disease progresses, the coughing fits become more intense and can last for weeks. #pediatrics #sickkids #parentingtips #cough

Whooping cough is miserable!! I had it in 2021 thought I was having asthma flare up. Thankfully I was sent to a pulmonologist who tested for it and I was treated!
