Symptoms of WHOOPING COUGH
Symptoms of early stages include runny nose, dry cough that progresses to a cough with thick sputum, and slight fever. Symptoms of later stages include severe, continual coughing bouts that last up to 1 minute. The face turns red or blue from lack of oxygen while coughing. At the end of each coughing effort, the child gasps for breath with a whooping sound. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever also occur.
