try a homoeopathic remedy - antibiotics never did anything for me and i suffered for months too until i wen to a homoeopath.

She said i still had the whooping cough bacteria within me and prescribed three remedies. I felt worse for about a week - lots more coughing and being sick but eventually felt better.

Regular doctor just told me i would always be affected and would get colds more easily which was depressing.

Try complementary medicine

my daughter had whooping cough as a 9 week old newborn,,, till 7 months old she was still having the coughing fits daily

her cough didnt sound normal till over a year later,, its a shocking disease to have, your cough will gradually sound less terrible xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and it must ruin your immune system cos she was always sick after whooping cough, she was on antibiotics 8 times in her 1st year of birth,, she had croup, bronchitis, flu, tonsilitis,, it was one thing after the other,, your immune system will stregnthen, xxxxxx

Pertussis is a highly communicable disease occurring mostly in children and teenagers that is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Symptoms are initially those of nonspecific URI followed by paroxysmal or spasmodic coughing that usually ends in a prolonged, high-pitched, crowing inspiration (the whoop). Diagnosis is by nasopharyngeal culture, PCR, and serologic assays. Treatment is with macrolide antibiotics.
