Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a contagious respiratory disease causing severe coughing fits and a distinctive whooping sound. It is treatable with antibiotics prescribed by licensed healthcare providers. Early intervention reduces severity and spread.
How to find top healthcare providers for whooping cough in Georgia?
Understanding Whooping Cough and Its Symptoms
Whooping cough is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria, leading to uncontrollable coughing, vomiting, and a characteristic 'whoop' sound during inhalation. It can affect people of all ages, especially infants and unvaccinated individuals.
Effective Treatment Options for Whooping Cough
Treatment typically involves antibiotics such as azithromycin or erythromycin, which can shorten the infectious period and alleviate symptoms. Supportive care includes hydration, rest, and managing coughing spells. Prompt treatment is essential.
