10 Whooping Cough Symptoms
Symptom #2: Runny Nose
A runny nose is a fairly common symptom for a variety of conditions, including different types of coughs and the common cold, so you shouldn’t diagnose yourself with whooping cough just because you have a runny nose. That said, the beginning stages of whooping cough are, in fact, quite similar to those of a regular cold. This can lead to serious problems because many doctors don’t diagnose whooping cough until it’s too late.
If you are experiencing a runny nose that persists for more than a few days and your coughing increases in intensity, you might want to see the doctor since these symptoms could indicate that you have whooping cough.
