The Wopping Cough is A Continus infected disease they effected on respiratory system. This gives rise to particularly problematic situations, as the symptoms are also not well defined. Until a whooping cough is fairly advanced the symptoms are very easy to confuse with other respiratory conditions or with flu symptoms. Whooping cough symptoms in babies, children, toddlers and even in teenagers may not be very easy to recognize and very often people confuse whooping cough symptoms with tuberculosis symptoms or with some other respiratory ailments like pneumonia symptoms, bronchitis, or croup, asthma symptoms or even strep throat symptoms. Although a whooping cough may be near impossible to distinguish from a variety of other respiratory infections at least in the early stages, if you are aware of the symptoms and effects of the disease it may help to alert you to the warning signs.
The course of whooping cough is divided into three stages.
* The first stage of whooping cough is the catarrhal stage. This phase typically lasts for one to two weeks. Symptoms during this phase resemble that of an upper respiratory illness: runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing,
and occasional cough. A low-grade fever may be present in some cases.
* The second stage of whooping cough is the paroxysmal stage. The duration of this phase is highly variable, lasting between one to six weeks, or up to 10 weeks. It is characterized by intense and drawn out bouts of coughing. The attacks tend to be more frequent at night, with an average of 15 attacks in a 24-hour period. Often a "whoop" can be heard caused by the gasping person inhaling between coughs. Infants, in particular, may appear to stop breathing and perhaps turn blue during the coughing spasms. Vomiting is also common during this stage as well.
* The third stage of symptoms may gradually improve, often disappearing within 2 to 3 weeks. However, fits of coughing often return with other respiratory infections for many months after the whooping cough symptoms improve.
Whooping Cough symptoms common sense that you cannot find remedy for a problem that you can't attach a name to. The symptoms for whooping cough are easily detectable and they are prolonged periods of a running nose, sneezing, dry cough and sometimes a high fever that can even hit 100 degrees. If you see these signs but you are still not sure, its time to see a doctor who will recommend the proper treatment.
If treatment is not administered early enough, the whooping cough will mature and you will notice a severe cough, frequent fits of cough which can lead to vomiting in children and all this can last to up to 12-13 weeks. If you do not want to see your child suffer under the jaws of whooping cough, its time you took him or her for immunization. A stitch in time saves nine.
