Whooping Cough
So I went to the doctor nurse type person today, and I have whooping cough. I've been sick for a month or so, and finally gave in and went to the doctor. I'm on zmax, and was given a prescrip for Tussinex.
WebMD has this to say about whooping cough: Symptoms of whooping cough typically last 6 to 10 weeks (but may last longer) and occur in three stages. The final stage, lasting for a few weeks or months, is a gradual recovery period. Although the person gains strength and begins to feel better, the cough may become louder and sound worse. Coughing spells become less frequent but may flare up again if a cold or other upper respiratory illness develops. Complications, such as pneumonia or exertion-related injuries from coughing, such as a hernia, can develop from whooping cough.
