10 Whooping Cough Symptoms
Symptom #4: Mild Fever
A fever is an immune response that indicates that the body is trying to eliminate a virus or pathogen. But again, a fever is not enough reason to diagnose someone with whooping cough. Even when combined with the previous symptoms—runny nose and sneezing—it’s still easy to brush off early whooping cough as a common cold.
This makes it hard to diagnose. However, a fever is an indication that the condition is worsening. If you experience a fever after coughing and sneezing for several days, you should definitely go to the doctor.
