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 or not?
