Will whooping cough be contagious?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult about pertussis. My child has been coughing intermittently for two or three months. Is this likely to be pertussis? Hello, can pertussis be transmitted to adults? Is there any way to prevent it?

Doctor's answer:

First, go to the hospital for a diagnosis to determine if it is whooping cough. If the baby has whooping cough, it is necessary to receive timely treatment at the hospital. Under the doctor's guidance, you can take Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Granules for anti-inflammatory effects and Children's Qingfei Syrup, which is effective in treating cough and clearing heat. These two medications are quite effective and have fewer side effects that children are more likely to tolerate. During breastfeeding, adults should also pay attention to their diet, practice dietary restraint, and preferably avoid irritating foods.
