How long is whooping cough contagious?
A person is contageous with Whooping cough (pertussis) for anywhere from 5 - 14 days during what is called the "catarrhal" stage. This is when you have a runny nose (generally with clear mucus), mild aches, sneezing, low-grade fever (perhaps) and other symptoms that appear to be like a cold. Whooping cough has three stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal and recovery. Antibiotics - if given during the first stage of the disease - help to more quickly reduce the impact of infection and reduce the period when you are infectious. Once you get to the second state (violent coughing fits), your body will deal with the infection in its own good time and antibiotics do little good. Recovery can take up to three to six months, or more, depending upon the severity of the disease and age. Relapses of coughing are common but tend to lessen in severity over time.
