sigh, whooping cough/pertussis?
Daughter(four year old) started coughing (dry, hacking) on Aug 19, followed a couple days of low fever(once a day) and a few days later mostly herself other than cough. Week two cough was in spasmodic fits. Week 3.5 very spasmodic (not over 30 seconds), juicy. Week 4 choking cough with spit up of clear thick puddle of mucus. (now we are beginning week 5) During the first couple weeks could not pinpoint best remedy when i repertorized (closest i came was Causticum but no change). Last 3 nights gave Dros 30c and helped tremendously at night to be able to sleep. Was never sure this was W.C. because no whoop and hard to diagnose. Been treating w/ gentle diet, herbs, vit c, garlic, clo, collodial silver and such. She seems to cough on a schedule (first fit a little after waking 8:30 then about every two hours).Now 1 year old son has bad cough. More juicy from beginning about one week ago(cough began Sept 18 with a couple days of gentle little cough). At night very congested (has to stop nursing to inhale), we Prop him up on a pillow. He now has spasmodic coughing with the 'whoop'. Choking/hacking cough wakes him from bedtime until a bit after midnight(mostly). Thin, clear mucus from nose on occassion. Haven't figured out how to get him to take herbs and such; only clo and collodial silver.
Both children very needy and clingy during and following coughing fits.
One fairly local homeopath but not sure if i can afford her. not much to buy locally(no homepathic phamacy); i do have castro's home remedy kit 30c.
thanks in advance for advice. Mostly concerned about any secondary infections and would like to comfort them more.

wanted to post more concise picture and add changes. couldn't buy Antim ars locally. son on hepar sulph for three incomplete days
My daughter Delta Joy (age 4 this summer) is entering her fifth week of coughing. It has gone thru three(?) phases:
1. (August 19) early, hollow dry cough; different than anything we had heard prior; no real consistency and passed it off as something irritating her throat ( i had the day before the cough put down diatomacous earth in our house--thought particles had irritated her). A couple days of early morning low fever, low energy during the first week
2. Middle of week two definite change to more routine coughing fits. A bit juicier. At this point began immune support herbs and diet (no dairy; echinacea, usnea, chamomile tinctures, vitamin c and collodial silver)
3. Week three saw more intense spasmodic coughing fits just about every two hours. Used Homeopathic remedy Dros at night and it helped w/ night coughing alot. (this is when son started coughing a bit at night mostly)
Beginning of week four more started seeing mucus actually 'thrown up', quite a bit of it, clear, sticky. We added horehound and lobelia (one drop) tincture, also oregeno oil and garlic oil. Started cod liver oil and bonebroths (oil w/ eucalyptus on souls of feet at night) and added small amounts of homemade yogurt to diet (also a bit of raw milk to herbal teas, specifically mullein). She seemed to get a bit better right before this especially at night. The past three days have been the worst: more intense, more often spasmodic/choking coughing and sometimes throwing up a bit; mucus still clear (started probiotics). She has been taking afternoon naps as well after quite a while without any. When she wakes she is sometimes inconsolable for about 15-30 minutes (whiny, crying
My son just turned one at the beginning of september.
Approx mid- second week of September he began stuffy nose and sporadic cough. Quickly changed by weekend to spasmodic coughing waking him at night and needing more consoling to sleep. (dosed him w/ dros 30c 2 nites and cham one day in desperation to calm him for a carride)
Beginning of the past week his appetite waned during the day and ate well at night. Trying to squeeze in immune boosters in his smoothies. gave hep sul 30 for three incomplete days==symptoms have only worsened.
Last couple days have been hard on him, red rimmed eyes, low energy, very bad hoarse cough at night and then very wet w/ mucus from nose and mouth during day. He as been quite congested from the beginning (especially at night and I have him propped on pillows, put thyme essential oil in carrier oil on souls of feet). Today he threw up each time he had a coughing fit either mucus (white now) and/or food/breastmilk. Needing to be held most of the day. his breathing is wet and throws head back to cough.
I feel like my body is trying to hold this thing at bay but am showing a couple early symptoms (sometime so very sleepy, occasional sore throat and one cough today). I am drinking herbal teas and taking tinctures for myself and Demetrius. Week 3 we cut out visits with folks and going in crowded places. Have taken some stroller rides in the woods on nice (no wind) days.
weather has dramatically cooled and moistened over the past three days

also son would hardly drink anything today
and son's coughing episodes are scary for both of us: very dry almost inaudible cough seems like he may pass out and is very choked up then may end in vomiting something or just swallows what comes up. After episode he cries or seems very listless.
