I got it at the beginning of September here in NY. Vaccinated and everting. It was a bitch . Just right now feeling better. Worst part was not able to breathe for 10+ second after coughing. My best advice, don’t panic, try to breath little by little after the nasty cough, and sleep with a bunch of pillows in your back. Good luck to everyone ❤
This is so sad. I would never wish this on my worst enemy even if I didn't like them. That sounds very hard to deal with actually I even heard. A few kids in my hometown had this cough. A few years ago and I still live around that town.
I have it too and I have noticed a few things that help me survive, you just need to rest and sleep a lot, the cough is weak and bearable when the air in the room where we breathe is well heated, then the cough is not deep and painful, if I just leave this warm room and find myself in a cold place the cough attacks like crazy until I can't breathe sometimes or until it sucks out, what is in the stomach and ends with small vomiting, I think in my room is 28-30 degrees all the time, I have also noticed that warm air cannot be humid, so I keep the window slightly open, just enough so that it is warm enough and the room does not retain moisture, humid air causes me to have apnea, stop breathing, it is as if the lungs stopped in the middle of a breath, it is quite frightening and I always jump out of bed and stand on the floor after that, holding the window slightly open this problem disappears, it is better to eat fruit in small quantities because there is nothing to vomit with coughing, drink a lot of tea with honey and wait, unfortunately doctors are so lazy that they do not even mention what is really the only medicine and can shorten this tiring disease
I have been sick for over 2 months , extreme pain from my back upper left side on my back when I cough feels like I broke a rib .. it’s awful truly awful infection
I’m on week 9. I’ve stopped being sick everytime i cough and I’m coughing a lot less but i’m now struggling to breathe and i’m now breathing with what sounds like popping candy on my chest. It’s literally never ending!! I’m so sick of this illness!! 🤧 doctors asked if anyone in my household have caught it.. i said i’m the only one that has so he said it’s definitely not whooping cough then.. BUT I HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS!!! I was never vaccinated as a baby but my daughter and partner were.
your lungs have temporarily lost the ability to clear dirt and particles and will last for a while longer. If you breath through your nose , it'll filter out some of that and you will cough less
That is rubbish I have whooping cough and nobody in my house has caught it either. I’m on week 5 still got a cough hoping I dnt get them breathing issues back again scared me to death
Week 12@@Hovsep231 Got diagnosed with Strep throat. Got Amoxicillin. Right lung is fine but left lung never got better. 2 weeks later which is last week, got the more powerful antibiotics after again getting diagnosed with strep throat. It sort of helping but my left lung/throat is still not healing completely. I have an appointment with ear/nose/throat specialist on Friday.
Thanks for this video. My children are in the 9th week. It's horror. No sleep for our children and for us. Constant fear of not being able to breathe. Now I'm in the 5th week too. At first I had cramps in my stomach area due to the strong cough. I ended up injuring a bone due to my cough and also had unbelievably bad pain with every little cough. With my children it is less now, but it is still there. Vaccinate yourself and your children against it if you haven't had it. It's a really bad disease and no doctor has diagnosed it in us. We figured it out ourselves after seeing the symptoms on RUclips. Unfortunately too late.
@@tabindafatma6275 Hello and thank you for asking. Interestingly, I had significant dizziness during a coughing fit for about two weeks. Twice I was briefly unconscious and didn't notice the subsequent fall with minor injuries. It's been going well since this week and basically good. The only problem that one of my children and I still have is climbing stairs. It basically triggers the cough. 20 levels are enough to trigger violent coughing that lasts for minutes. But at night we can finally sleep peacefully again.
This is a terrible illness. There is no adequate testing. There is no adequate vaccine for adults. I've had covid 19 during the pandemic, that was like an itch compared to Pertussis. In the middle of Paroxysmal stage, violent cough, blackouts, stomach muscles pulled to pieces, no sleep. I'm 57 and lived in the UK all my life. Never had whooping cough, and have never known anyone have it until now. This is a definite pandemic and needs to be addressed. Eight babies lives lost so far this year to whooping cough, how many through covid19 ?
I have it too. Im 35 and have asthma. I’m about 6 weeks in now and I’ve had 3 sets of antibiotics and 1 set of setroids. There’s a blood test you can get from the GP and it tests for whooping cough. Very easily tested. I’ve had covid and this is much worse.
I've had this for around 4 months. At the start when I was having a cough I went to the doctor and they just said it's maybe just a bad cough. Then weeks later I was woken up in the middle of the night with a coughing fit and then being totally unable to breathe for around 60 to 90 seconds which was petrifying. Doctor couldn't do anything. Had these coughs / severe breathing issues for around 4 or 5 weeks. Now I am still with the cough but it's not as bad and the whoopnis still there but breathing issues are only a few seconds. It's scary and the worst illness I have ever had...
I’m 46 and was never vaccinated. Got it from my 10 yr old after we went to the England Brazil game at Wembley where I think he got it. My son was vaccinated as a baby. My doctor referred my details to UKHSA who never called as had been led to believe they would. Guess there’s too much of it around for them to trace. The difficulty breathing is the scariest part. After 6 weeks I’m still producing the thick mucus that makes it difficult to breathe although coughing bouts have reduced. Had Amoxicillin after 1 week (no affect) then had clarithromycin after 3 weeks, which did help to calm the bouts a little. It’s weird how the nose suddenly produces mucus during a coughing bout and eyes suddenly go bloodshot but the crackles on the chest subside with good rest, lots of water and deep breathing. Box breathing is helping me get rest and mini naps during the day, however can’t sleep on my side due to painful ribs/diaphragm.
I believe I gave this I have been sick for almost two months with this cough and went 5 times to doctors but no one listens to me that this it’s not normal for my body so they didn’t help and they didn’t diagnose it
Me too, I’ve been coughing my lungs up for weeks. It’s only recently that I’ve been gasping for air and feeling like I’m suffocating after coughing and it’s so scary but no one is taking me seriously :( Hope you’re doing better.
Same! Textbook symptoms for one month including a fever and raised CRP. Passing out from coughing, vomiting from it and awake all night with non stop intense coughing. The doctor keeps saying it's "just a cold" so zero antibiotics for me 😔
Cornwall, England. Age 54 I’m on week 3 and my lethargy has stopped me working and still get coughing burst that make me vomit. Up tonight because I’m wheezing and rattling but can’t clear anything. Required antibiotics clarithromycin for longer than expected. So tired.
I’m in Cornwall too, age 32, going into week 5 with no sign of it slowing. This is the longest I’ve been this ill and can totally relate to your comment. It feels as though my airway is completely sealed shut after a coughing fit, absolutely bloody hideous! I’m into running and lifting weights but just haven’t been able to go anywhere near it for the entire time, it’s truly miserable!
Me too.. the high doses of vitamin C constantly through the day breaks up mucus and helps the dry throat..its a god send. Ascorbic acid from Intralabs uk. 1/4 teaspoon is 1 gram.
@@tomobrien1083I am the exact same !!! I am on week 5 now and no signs of it getting better.Im usually very active in the gym but have not been able to go..I tried antibiotics a 2 weeks ago but didn’t help..Are you feeling better now ? Xx ❤
i think my 2yo has it. He was like normal sick for 2 days then he started with that awful cough. yesterday was last fever day. today last night was a horror sleeping. he was up like 3/4 times coughing and had that wheezing sound in between bits. i was crying this morning because the poor angel doesnt even know whats happening and it scared me. He has no fever at all now and the coughing is nowhere near as bad during the day as at night which i heard on another video is quite normal... idk whether to take him to dr or not. i dont trust them tbh. and if antibiotics wont help him i dont see much sense in it
Flying in a plane helps to stop coughing. It was tested by millions of ill people. My daughter is also sick with this disease and we've planned to fly also
14wks and i still have it. I just had the cough which was only every now and then but now iv picked up a cold from somewhere and im coughing like crazy and struggling to breathe again. Doctors say there is nothing they can do. I dont get why i got it though as i had my whooping cough vaccination 8 years ago 😷
Me too, I’ve been coughing my lungs up for weeks. It’s only recently that I’ve been gasping for air and feeling like I’m suffocating after coughing and it’s so scary but no one is taking me seriously :( Hope you’re doing better.
July 2024. Week 3 for me, painful lower back and ribs every time I move or cough. Nearly vomiting and passing out when I cough. Keeping me up at night now as I’m scared that I will lose my breath during sleep. Horrible and doesn’t seem to be improving. Symptoms just continue to evolve. GP told me to have paracetamol and wait it out..
I read from a researcher doctor Suzanne Humphried she told to take 3.75 grams of powder vit C per kg of body weight with bicarb of soda, divided over waking hourd and to bowel tolerence when your body has its limit it will make you ...ease off for 30 mins then take again makes a nice fizzy drink and bicarb removes the bitter taste. Along with drinking plain water ive been taking now for 10 weeks and its really calmed down the cough and makes life easier .. ive had asthma in the past so its tough without the Vitamin C, the vit C counteracts the toxins from the bug and also breaks up the mucus so you can clear your chest n throat ...everyone should be advised to take this it makes life so much easier. So thankful I found this out albeit 3 weeks into the bug
@ricosadventureswithbeckyan1373 Commonly used medicines in the treatment of Whooping Cough are: Pertussin 200, Drosera 30, Coccus Cacti 30, Ipecac 30, Kali Carb 30 and Belladonna 30. These are all homeopathics. My kids, 3 and 8, have it now week 3. They are getting over it quickly. Barely any coughing fits, just at night. About 7 grams of powdered vitamin c each day is given to them. We haven't done antibiotics, as I have read it doesn't really work. They cough a lot in the night and spit up tons of mucus. At first, I thought it was vomit, but it's stuff coming from their lungs, which is good. Good luck!!
I have whooping cough I’m on week 5 I still get episodes of coughing fits and extreme tiredness.. I had complete closure of my throat couldn’t breathe in at all for a min at a time was frightening.. wish I’d wud do one it’s awful took me 4 doc trip and one hospital they didn’t seem to care now I got anxiety from the periods of not being able to breathe 😮
It's terrifying when that happens. You will breathe though as your lungs are automatically programmed to do so. Even if they stop for a few seconds. Your epiglottis closes when you cough t and it gets swollen when you have whooping cough and opens again slowly which means you find it harder to breathe When it happened to me I blacked out, but came to quickly breathing normally. I think it's a bit of anxiety about it for me as I have asthma. It scares me and my throat tightens. I try to breathe through my nose when it happens and down to my lungs that way. It seems to help. It's very scary.
@@carolined5923 I have asthma so I use the steroid one everyday , as I have to, but I have used my blue reliever one when my chest has got really tight and it helped.
17 weeks I had it for, I was very ill, went to doctors at the start of it and was told you have a bad viral infection get on with it we can't give you any medication 🙄never been so ill, I did end up back at doctors several times, even now months later I can't laugh as I start coughing and my chest is just starting to feel abit better, not nice to be honest with all the pains in your head and chest and stomach when you cough and being sick and everything else that comes with it, I can see why it kills baby's 😔
Got adult whopping cough. Took antibiotics. No longer whooping as much but still coughing my head off, going on 4 + weeks now. Question… should I get a vaccine booster? Is that a good idea? and if so how long do I have to wait to get one?
I’m unsure what’s wrong with me but I’ve had a cough for +12 months. I’ve had chest xray and multiple antibiotics. Doctors keep telling me my lungs are fine airway is clear
I've had these symptoms for over a month now, im fainting snd vomiting from coughing all night, my ribs are killing me and have taken time off work. My doctor absolutely refuses to prescribe antibiotics for it saying its "just a cold"..
I got it at the beginning of September here in NY. Vaccinated and everting. It was a bitch . Just right now feeling better. Worst part was not able to breathe for 10+ second after coughing. My best advice, don’t panic, try to breath little by little after the nasty cough, and sleep with a bunch of pillows in your back. Good luck to everyone ❤
I read that being vaccinated means that your symptoms aren't as bad or the length of illness isn't as long. Death is rare. Hopefully this makes you appreciate the vaccination. I'm here trying to find out if I have pertussis even though I'm vaccinated, same as you. Best wishes.
@@deefee701 Although I hate vaccines, I am glad I got them when I was little. Apparently, my symptoms are mild and not severe, but believe me when I say that it was the worst illness I have ever encountered. It is rough. Because I am tired of dealing with incompetent doctors, I went to see mine and told her that I wanted a respiratory panel (nasopharyngeal swab), which is similar to a COVID test but checks for 20 different things. I tested positive for rhinovirus (common cold) and Bordetella pertussis (which causes whooping cough). I was prescribed 5 days of antibiotics, but I am still dealing with the cough. The doctor said I caught it in time, although I had symptoms for 10 days. I hope you feel better soon and don’t hesitate to ask for what you need.
Hello doctor,,, My names is mohamed ragab ammar, i am a medical student in the second year i have a question,,,, if i have a patient with the whooping cough sound, he already pass the first catarrhal stage should i give him Erythromycin or i have to wait for the recovery and if the cough isn't tolerated at night can i give him antitussive " he has no phlegm" thank you.
375mg vitamin C to each kg of body weight mixed with bicarb of soda, bicarb makes it non bitter and easy to drink plenty of. Tasteless too. It will break up the mucus after a few days or less. The vit C helps preserve the villi in the bronchi
@@katlynnprovencal9959 week 9 now I think , just get random coughing fits ,then goes like nothing happened 🤯 Beginning to think I now come with a cough 😭
Shit..Yup I've just got it my lungs are already bad from smoking cough cough think your going to die because you cant get your breath Wheeeeze and mucus
I had whooping cough from second week (horrible), nose congestion - still have now and i cough way less still whooping cough and i got bad pain in my right rib from cough, luckily its better now. But this sickness is long term.
I have a 1 month old baby with whooping cough. So far we have been told that we should only call hospital if she turns blue.. I am not sure what to do? Is there any way i can help soften the symptoms?
Same my 1 month old baby is also having whooping cough but he only gets red while having cough so the doctors said its ok to be red u have to come hosp only if he gets blue or if he stops breathing for long
How is ur baby now i am using nebuliser for him only and nothing else i can do hes so small is this whooping cough deadly for my 1 month old plz let me know 😭
@@FAZALWAHAB-kp5ln They said the same thing for my girl.. It seems a bit insane to give that advice right? What I realised is anytime she has that cough to sit her upright, pat her back firmly, if she is struggling to breath gently blow on her face until she comes back to it. I have also been trying as much possible to keep windows open, get fresh circulation. Breast feeding I heard helps the baby with antibodies, so do as much of that as you can. It will pass soon, inshallah for the both of us .

I’m unsure what’s wrong with me but I’ve had a cough for +12 months. I’ve had chest xray and multiple antibiotics. Doctors keep telling me my lungs are fine airway is clear
If there's no whoop, and they can't see anything in your airways, it could possibly be GI generated. Reflux coughs?
Not all adults get the whooping sound
@@carolined5923 but the bacterium should be there, if it's pertussis
I've had these symptoms for over a month now, im fainting snd vomiting from coughing all night, my ribs are killing me and have taken time off work. My doctor absolutely refuses to prescribe antibiotics for it saying its "just a cold"..
You have a good doctor
Your past phase 1 so no point taking antibiotics. I am in same boat currently.
Change your doctor!!
I got it at the beginning of September here in NY. Vaccinated and everting. It was a bitch . Just right now feeling better. Worst part was not able to breathe for 10+ second after coughing. My best advice, don’t panic, try to breath little by little after the nasty cough, and sleep with a bunch of pillows in your back. Good luck to everyone ❤
I read that being vaccinated means that your symptoms aren't as bad or the length of illness isn't as long. Death is rare. Hopefully this makes you appreciate the vaccination. I'm here trying to find out if I have pertussis even though I'm vaccinated, same as you. Best wishes.
@@deefee701 Although I hate vaccines, I am glad I got them when I was little. Apparently, my symptoms are mild and not severe, but believe me when I say that it was the worst illness I have ever encountered. It is rough. Because I am tired of dealing with incompetent doctors, I went to see mine and told her that I wanted a respiratory panel (nasopharyngeal swab), which is similar to a COVID test but checks for 20 different things. I tested positive for rhinovirus (common cold) and Bordetella pertussis (which causes whooping cough). I was prescribed 5 days of antibiotics, but I am still dealing with the cough. The doctor said I caught it in time, although I had symptoms for 10 days. I hope you feel better soon and don’t hesitate to ask for what you need.
Hi sir please answer high risk exposure hiv my test 3 month 6 month 9 month nagetiv me 100 person save yes no please answer
Hello doctor,,,
My names is mohamed ragab ammar, i am a medical student in the second year
i have a question,,,, if i have a patient with the whooping cough sound, he already pass the first catarrhal stage
should i give him Erythromycin or i have to wait for the recovery
and if the cough isn't tolerated at night can i give him antitussive " he has no phlegm"
thank you.
375mg vitamin C to each kg of body weight mixed with bicarb of soda, bicarb makes it non bitter and easy to drink plenty of. Tasteless too. It will break up the mucus after a few days or less. The vit C helps preserve the villi in the bronchi
Week 4 , has anyone fainted ? I woke up down the side of the toilet 😮
Yes idk if I have whooping cough because I wasn’t diagnosed but I am about to be 7 weeks in with cough syncope from the coughing fits :( it’s horrible

Oh and let’s not forget the vomiting and the loss of appetite
I had whooping cough from second week (horrible), nose congestion - still have now and i cough way less still whooping cough and i got bad pain in my right rib from cough, luckily its better now. But this sickness is long term.
I have a 1 month old baby with whooping cough. So far we have been told that we should only call hospital if she turns blue.. I am not sure what to do? Is there any way i can help soften the symptoms?
Same my 1 month old baby is also having whooping cough but he only gets red while having cough so the doctors said its ok to be red u have to come hosp only if he gets blue or if he stops breathing for long
How is ur baby now i am using nebuliser for him only and nothing else i can do hes so small is this whooping cough deadly for my 1 month old plz let me know 😭
@@FAZALWAHAB-kp5ln They said the same thing for my girl.. It seems a bit insane to give that advice right? What I realised is anytime she has that cough to sit her upright, pat her back firmly, if she is struggling to breath gently blow on her face until she comes back to it.
I have also been trying as much possible to keep windows open, get fresh circulation.
Breast feeding I heard helps the baby with antibodies, so do as much of that as you can.
It will pass soon, inshallah for the both of us .
You need to try dokey milk ,it is known to treat this.
Cows milk stimulates mucus production avoid it
