Has anyone’s baby been fully vaccinated (pre 12 months) and still caught whooping cough?
My 10 month old is making a whoop noise when coughing and I can see the panic in his little face when he’s trying to catch his breath- he’s not been great for a couple of weeks but this cough has ramped up this evening/tonight especially.
He saw a GP a week ago who said his chest was fine and we’ve just had him at out of hours who also said chest is fine, it’s just a sore throat.
I’m not normally one to go against doctors diagnosis and I’m not saying they’re necessarily wrong this time but there is something not right with him at the moment! I thought a cold/sore throat is supposed to gradually get better, not increasingly get worse! I’ve just had a bit of a google and its telling me whooping cough does present with clear lungs.
Anyone similar?
