Patient's question:

My baby has been coughing recently, and the fever has reached 39.5 degrees. Even after taking many fever-reducing medications, it hasn't helped. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and confirmed it was whooping cough. Intravenous fluids are needed to reduce the fever. I'd like to understand what are the symptoms of whooping cough in babies?

Doctor's answer:

The characteristics of whooping cough are paroxysmal and spasmodic coughing. During recurrence, the person coughs continuously for more than ten times until they cough out phlegm or vomit stomach contents, then take a deep breath, making a hoarse sound like a chicken inhaling. During severe coughing, it is accompanied by fecal incontinence, clenched fists and elbows, wide-open eyes, red face, tears interchanging, head forward, mouth open, and purple tongue, with an extremely painful expression.
Common dietary remedies for whooping cough. Egg soup, eggs, sugar. The eggs are cracked and stirred, mixed with rock sugar and water, steamed in water, and consumed once a day, once a day.
