How Can Chronic Whooping Cough Along With Shortness Of Breath Be Treated?
When I was 2 yrs old I had whooping cough (i hadnt been vaccinated as it was deemed dangerous at the time) For the following 7 years, everytime the colds came around I would get whooping cough, just a little less severe than the year before. I am now 41 - i developed a tickle in the back of my throat yesterday, it makes me gasp for breath, and the only way to stop it is to suck a throat sweet .... this has happened many times before for several years, the last two years I have had chest infections severe enough to warrant antibiotics, and was prescribed a ventolin inhaler to assist with the coughing
