Whooping cough is a respiratory infectious disease, generally diagnosed through typical clinical symptoms and laboratory test results. Typical symptoms include paroxysmal, spasmodic coughing, which can also lead to flushed face and ears, runny nose, acute sickly appearance, while some patients may have a cough that sounds like a puppy's bark and others may exhibit a crowing sound during inhalation. During this period, sputum pathogen culture or other auxiliary examinations can be used for diagnosis, and sensitive antimicrobial drugs can be chosen for anti-inflammatory treatment.
