Whooping Cough
While similar to croup, whooping cough is caused by a bacterial infection and croup by a viral infection. Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, may start with mild symptoms such as the occasional cough and a stuffy nose.
The severity of the symptoms can increase to vomiting and coughing fits called paroxysms. After one of these fits, the patient may feel fatigued. It can take up to 10 weeks to heal from whooping cough.
