Are these symptoms of whooping cough? I am coughing uncontrollably.

Are these symptoms of whooping cough? Lately, I've been coughing like crazy. At first, I thought it was just a simple cold, but the cough hasn't stopped and seems to be getting worse.

 

Especially at night, my cough worsens, making it impossible to sleep properly. Sometimes the cough continues to the point where it's hard to breathe, and each time, I feel truly distressed.

I don't cough up much phlegm, but I have a persistent dry cough, my throat hurts a lot, and I feel a tight sensation in my chest every time I cough.

 

Since these symptoms continue, I wonder if this could be whooping cough. When I looked into whooping cough, I found that the main symptoms are a prolonged cough that lasts a long time, especially worsening at night, and difficulty breathing.

 

I think my current condition is exactly like that, so I'm worried. I should go to the hospital and get an accurate diagnosis, but are there anyone who have experienced similar symptoms to mine?

 

I am curious about how you would handle it if you have it. Please let me know if there are any first aid measures or cough relief methods that can be done at home. Also, if it is whooping cough, I would like to know what the treatment process involves. I found on the internet that whooping cough can be treated with antibiotics, but will treatment help me recover faster?

Lately, I have been having a hard time with daily life due to cough and whooping cough symptoms, and I hope to recover quickly. Also, since whooping cough is said to be highly contagious, I think I should be careful not to infect my family. I would like to know how to prevent transmission in such cases.

 

It would be good to have things you can do at home before going to the hospital for whooping cough symptoms.

 

Please tell me about the symptoms of whooping cough.
