What is whooping cough?


I just want to know
i think i might have it

It's a disease that makes it so you constantly cough. If you go to the hospital they will give you a test for it. They have you lay back and they shove what amounts to a long thin scrubby-type thing down your nose and pull it out really fast.

It's an easy thing to test for. If you feel you do have it, go on into the doctor.

Whooping cough is an infectious bacterial illness that affects the respiratory passages. First described in the 1640s, whooping cough is so named because spasms of coughing are punctuated by a characteristic "whoop" when the person inhales.
