Whooping cough yes or no if no please advise how to resolve

It's probably the virus that's going around. I've had it for four weeks and it's going now, I know a couple of people who had it for 6weeks. It starts off as maybe like a cold for a few days then that goes and a couple days later you get the sore throat, irritating cough with coughing fits, perhaps some loss of voice for a few days. In time it may go into your chest when you will need antibiotics for it. Try Vicks vapour rub on your feet then cotton socks on top 2/3 times a day. And a hoarde of tissues on standby. Get lots of rest. And drink lots. 

I had whooping cough as a child, it is like no other, you would certainly know if you had it, there is a distinctive whoop sound and what I remember most was rushing out into the garden each time and retching. My sister was a baby at the time and everyone was concerned about her catching it. I seem to have suffered no long term I'll affects, I had no childhood vaccinations as my mum had been a nurse in a fever hospital during the war. She had seen more children die as a result of vaccines than from the diseases themselves so although vaccines improved my mum remained firmly against. We both turned out healthy specimens so perhaps she was right after All! I have not heard of an adult getting whooping cough since most of our generation had the vaccine I should think it highly unlikely you have. I once had such a tickly cough as you have and the doctor prescribed codeine lintus which was brill.he said the cough becomes involuntary and the linctus relaxes the muscles in the throat that cause the constant cough. Good luck and let us know how you go on

 

It could be acid reflux.  See your GP and ask.
