What does the in pertussis mean?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please explain what "whooping cough" means?

Doctor's answer:

The "hundred days" in whooping cough refers to the long duration of coughing. If a baby contracts whooping cough, it is essential to seek timely medical treatment at the hospital. Under the guidance of a doctor, Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Granules can be taken to reduce inflammation, and Children's Qingfei Syrup can be used to alleviate coughing and cool blood, which is highly effective. These two medications are quite effective and have fewer side effects that children can tolerate more easily. During breastfeeding, adults should also pay attention to their diet and avoid foods, preferably with no irritants.
