  Intermittent whooping whilst coughing?  (9 Posts) ShiftyFades
Wed 23-Jan-13 20:58:16  DS (4) has been off colour since last
week. He had a high temp on Saturday evening (39.6) which lasted
until today. On Monday his eyes started weeping so took him to
GP. She's given him eye drops and ABs as both ears are severely
infected. He started coughing on Monday and on Monday night he
coughed so much he was sick ( just milk though). Yesterday he
was coughing a bit more and last night coughed enough to sound
like he was choking.  Today he's been a bit brighter and ate for
the first time since Saturday (half a small sandwich).  But he's
whooped a few times whilst coughing. I rang GP who wants to see
him tomorrow.  I searched YouTube and his cough / whoop sounded
the same as the first one I came across under whooping cough.
But I guess, equally, it might not be.  He's coughing away in
bed atm but not whooping now. I read that some people don't
whoop at all.  But can you whoop intermittently? Or are you
either a whooper
