Whooping cough is a respiratory infectious disease characterized by paroxysmal coughing and spasmodic cough. Some patients may exhibit a crowing sound similar to a rooster's crow or a bark-like cough. Adult patients may experience symptoms such as facial redness, runny nose, and vomiting. Diagnostic confirmation requires appropriate auxiliary tests. Once diagnosed, it is recommended to undergo isolation treatment and choose a sufficient amount of effective antibiotics to eradicate the Bordetella pertussis bacteria.
