Whooping cough is a severe infectious disease that is relatively common in children. The main treatment for the disease still primarily involves antimicrobial drugs, supplemented by symptomatic treatment and treatment for complications.

If a child has severe coughing, they may experience choking, and in necessary cases, tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation may be required. If other symptoms occur, targeted treatments must be carried out to alleviate the various clinical symptoms of the child.

The treatment duration for whooping cough is relatively long, so parents need to be patient. If a child has not had whooping cough, they should be vaccinated with the DTaP vaccine to prevent the disease.
