Has anyone ever had whooping cough?

After six weeks of hellishly annoying symptoms and doctor treatment from asthma, bronchitis, to reflux, my mom (even though i am 24 & 50 miles away) asked a pulmonologist & he said it was more likely whooping cough (just with a description of symptoms, not even seeing me). I read up and think I am in the last stage of it. Anyone else had it? If so is there any type of medicine that you took to lessen symptoms?

I think I have it,I'm not sure but I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get it check. It is a particular cough is not like a cold cough and smtimes it gets out of my control
I will let u know what medicine the doctor gives me and I'll ask him about u
if u want to contact me

let me know if u have yahoo msn or hotmail so we can talk about this

Try asking the Dr. about an anti-inflammatory med, or a steroid, like prednisone.
