7. Easing Stage
After the main coughing stage, the patient will move on to the easing stage, which is known technically as the convalescent phase. At this point, the patient’s coughing fits will start gradually easing in severity.
The fits can still occur, but they are likely to occur less frequently and with less intensity. This period is likely to be drawn out in most cases, usually lasting for around 3 months or so.
