3 yr old has Whooping Cough HELP
My vaccinated 9 yr old son contracted whooping cough and my unvax'd 3 yr old got it. He is having hard time with frequent violent choking cough attacks. The older one only had couple attacks during night not during day so it wasn't too bad. I have been treating them w chiro, accupuncture, extra Vit D, zinc, some herbal supps, Vit C SA, essential oils and/or homeopathy but I can't get the remedy right. Everything sounds like it applies. I've tried Pertussinum 30 c, Drosera and Carbo Veg. He is happy and plays in between episodes but the cough comes suddenly and is intense. Face turns red eyes tear up, he gags but not much mucus comes up. Night time and morning upon waking is worst and after eating and crying. Should also mention Dr. put them on antibiotic said if I gave early enough would minimize disease but I think it actually made worse and regret giving to him. I've started the probiotic as well. Stopped all sugar and dairy. I don't know what else to do. The coughing is getting worse and sometimes he whoops in between when trying to catch a breath. The cough sounds like there is phlegm there it lasts few seconds but night he has repeated attacks one after another lasting minute or more. Please if anyone can share what has helped them and their family I'd love to hear it. This is horrible and hurts to watch him suffer. Any advice or recommendations will be much appreciated. Thanks so much.Maja621 on 2012-08-17

Definitely prefers open air and doesn't want be covered throws blanket off. His attitude is sweet and loving towards everyone. Keeps telling me he loves me and kisses my cheek. Symptoms worse during night and early morning better in afternoon. Not sure what causative factor is? He doesn't get sick much but first yr of life had viral meninigitis at 5 days old then broncholitios and croup twice. He has pimple like small rash on his tush for couple weeks might be mollluscum (his sister had 2 yrs ago). Other than that can't think of anything. Bowel movement ok better than usual softer he normally is more constipated. He likes to move around. Thanks so much.
