Whooping cough vaccinations

[Guest guest]

>>>>>The thing with whooping cough is the mucus - it is never ending and

just sits

there until you cough - running down the back of your throat. It was really

nasty.

So if there is asthma or respiratory wheeze in the family, my feeling would

be to

vaccinate because these children need even more protection from whooping

cough

than other children. I could not imagine what whooping cough on top of

latent

asthma would do to a child.<<<<

The mucus was Ashe's problem ... the actual illness had subsided quite a lot

and he still had a horrendous cough. He was unable to clear his throat

easily.

My friend has said that she will definitely vaccinate in the future .. as

has been said here .... it may not stop the child from getting Whooping

Cough, but it lessens the severity of it ... especially important fo

asthmatics (in my uneducated opinion).

Both my children have had the vaccination although neither are asthmatic.

I can't offer you any facts and my friend is still very uncomfortable

talking about it If I can get any info from her I will
