Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Alia... I have been reading up on whooping cough ( you know me and my reserching!!) and have found out that it takes 5-10days from exposure to develop it. But if you take anti-biotics before showing signs of coughing then this can help stop it developing. Anti- biotics taken once its developed dont always help. It can also take a LONG time to get over it... upto 3 months (((.. Having a virus or pre-exsisting cold when exposed makes you more suseptable to developing it. I sure hope Caroline doesnt have it, poor kid needs a break. If she does have it let me know as soon as you find out because Nick is already battling a cold and did spend time with Caroline on Saturday, although I dont remember seeing her cough or sneeze during the walk. I think i might want Nicks doctor to put him on anti- biotics just in case if she is positive. Hows she doing this afternoon????
