It really depends on how long the whooping cough goes untreated as to how much damage it does. With modern medicine, it is usually caught quickly, but sometimes it is misdiagnosed and slips by.
When left untreated it can cause a variety of problems, the main being a deep gasping cough.
Also:
- pneumonia
- ear infections
- loss of appetite
- seizures
- difficulty breathing
- death
After whooping cough has been treated and the patient is no longer infected, the cough can remain for many weeks after.
