Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a respiratory infectious disease mainly caused by Bordetella pertussis infection, leading to respiratory infection symptoms. Clinically, it is characterized by irritating coughing. Due to the long duration of the disease, it is called pertussis. If symptoms of persistent coughing not improving are accompanied by muscle soreness and fever, checking the routine of secretions can be considered. If diagnosed with a Bordetella pertussis infection, oral or intravenous macrolide antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment and symptomatic management. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor based on the specific situation.)
