Symptom #7: Exhaustion and Fatigue

People suffering from whooping cough are prone to experience serious bouts of fatigue and exhaustion. It’s normal to feel a bit tired when you have a cold or the flu, but an increased degree of fatigue is indicative that you might be developing whooping cough instead of a persistent cold.

The body is dedicating a serious amount of energy to warding off the illness. As the infection spreads, it taxes your cells and organs, and your immune system is working simultaneously to fight against it. This can be extremely debilitating and lead to serious fatigue and exhaustion.
