Patient's question:
How is whooping cough treated the best?Doctor's answer:
Children redeveloping whooping cough is primarily due to their weakened immunity being exposed to the whooping cough bacterium, which can cause recurrent coughing, mild coughing, and spasmodic coughing of the trachea. In severe cases, it may lead to fever and prolonged duration. This can be diagnosed through chest X-ray examinations at the hospital. Generally, antibiotics such as erythromycin or azithromycin can be taken to reduce inflammation, and medication should be taken for at least 14 days.
