To get well quickly, children with whooping cough can be treated with medication, along with isolation, disinfection and proper back patting. Pertussis is an acute respiratory infection caused by Bacillus pertussis. If a child has a serious cough, he or she should take oral aminoglutethimide, or phlegm-transforming drugs as early as possible to avoid entering the spasmodic cough phase. 2. Parents should hold the child vertically so that his or her head is resting on the parent’s shoulder, and hold the child with one hand while the other hand taps his or her back with a hollow palm, from the bottom to the top and from the outside to the inside, to help the child expel the phlegm and reduce the occurrence of lung infections, so that the child gets better faster. By combining the above methods, the child can recover more quickly. In addition, parents should avoid taking their children to public places after they get whooping cough in order to prevent cross-infection. For children who do not have pertussis, vaccinations are also available to reduce the chance of infection and early intervention is needed to avoid worsening symptoms.
