4. Fatigue
Fatigue is a symptom that can sometimes have a very sudden onset, or it can be a symptom that sticks around for days, weeks, months or years before people think to get it checked out by a medical professional. If you experience fatigue together with a wheezing cough and any of the other symptoms on this list (whether it’s one or several), then it could point to a bout of whooping cough.
If you’ve been recently exposed to any whooping cough infections (particularly in hospital settings, or areas where you came into direct contact with children), it’s likely that you might have whooping cough. Make an appointment with your doctor in order to establish the root cause of your symptoms – and treat fatigue by getting enough rest and adapting your diet.
If fatigue still continues as a symptom after the whooping cough infection has disappeared, make an appointment with your doctor again to re-examine the cause.
