contagious
respiratory tract infection. It’s a condition with similar
symptoms to the common cold we are used to, however it can
be much more serious if a young baby is suffering from
it.
In the more
advancedstage of
whooping cough it
isrecognizedby a severe hacking
cough followed by a
high-pitched intake of breath that
soundslikea
"whoop.”
The incidence of
this condition has been rising, chiefly among
kiddies too young to complete a full course of
vaccinations and teenagers
whose immunityhas
faded.
If the proper treatment is
prescribed, or medication administered, teens and adults
recover from whooping cough without problems. As with all
conditions there is the mild and the severe sorts. The severe
sort can usually be prevented with early
treatment.
Whoever the
person and regardless of gender with the bacterium that
causes whooping cough may see it taking up to 12 days for
symptoms to show.
Symptoms
normally include:
Over time and
if the illness reaches another level the symptoms worsen.
From this you can expect:
-
Severe
coughing bouts bringing thick
phlegm
-
Continual
coughing maybe up to fifteen at a
time
-
In
kiddies, their bouts of severe coughing can
cause them to vomit and their face turn red,
or even blue at
times
-
Tiredness

Symptoms
of whooping cough in adults
are
much
the same as to
them of bronchitis,
a
respiratory infection that causes an
irritating severe
cough causing small red spots
which
has
ruptured blood vessels at the skin's surface
(petechiae) in the upper body, as well as
small places of
bleeding in the
whites of the
eyes.
This happens duly because of pressure and
strain from coughing.It’s
known for people to do them self an injury from the strain of
constant coughing (Like breaking or bruising a
rib.)
Patients
typically suffer most at night when the cough is normally
at its worst.
If your child shows whooping cough symptoms
then have your GP check the child out to determine the
condition, to make an accurate diagnosis that it is whooping
cough.There are several
diseases associated to young babies such as chicken pox measles
mumps and meningitis, which all give reason for
concern.And it wouldn’t be
normal for any mother not to worry; however all the help is out
there you need to keep your baby’s health in tip top
condition.
With babies never leave anything to chance.
No matter how little your worry is over their health, and for
whatever reason, do right by your child and have your baby
examined by a doctor sooner than
later.
The quicker a condition is cured, the
quicker you get back your healthy little son or
daughter.
