Whooping Cough known in the medical community as Pertussis is not "curable" by definition. There are medications with antitussive properties that can be given to mitigate the symptom of coughing. There is a vaccines out there that is very effective however as with all vaccines there is no 100% guarantee. Having Whooping Cough can last several months as it is colloquially known as "The 100 Day Cough." But eventually all will subside.
