  6. Treatment • Treatment of whooping cough in infants: • The childhood vaccine for pertussis or whooping cough is usually given in combination with diphtheria and tetanus. Before age 7, children should get 5 doses of the DTP or DTaP vaccine. These are usually given at 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months of age and 4 - 6 years of age. • Appropriate antibiotic therapy, given in the early stages of infection, may prevent or lessen the severity of symptoms. • Common side effects of DTaP vaccine: • 1. Babies may get fever. • 2. Redness or swelling of the baby where the vaccine was given . • 3. Soreness or tenderness where the vaccine was given. • 4. Some babies may get fussy after the vaccine was given. • 5. Tiredness or poor appetite Incubation period: Incubation period for whooping cough is 7 to 10 days and rarely more than 14 days.

  7. Home Treatment • Some home remedies for whooping cough • 1. Garlic: The most effective home remedy for whooping cough is the use of garlic. One teaspoon of garlic mixed with equal amount of honey can be given 3 times a day. You can give 5 times if the coughing spells are frequent and violent. • 2. Ginger: Ginger is another home remedy for treating whooping cough in children. Heat a pan and add 1 cup of water. When it begins to boil add a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, teaspoon of ginger and a dash of honey. Boil until it is reduced to half. Strain the ginger liquid and consume it. • 3. Almond oil: Almond oil is also valuable in the treatment of whooping cough. You can take 5 drops of almond oil mixed with ten drops of white onion juice. Have this almond oil mixture thrice daily. • Whooping cough diet: • Give some fresh orange juice and water for a few days to your child to reduce the whooping cough.
