After corona and pneumonia, cases of whooping cough are increasing in China. 13 people have died due to this disease in China. Cases of whooping cough are increasing in other countries too, but more cases are being registered in China. More than 30 thousand cases of this disease have been reported in China. Whooping cough is a dangerous disease. If timely treatment is not done, the patient's life may be at risk. Whooping cough is also called whooping cough. Due to this, the patient becomes short of breath while coughing. This causes difficulty in breathing.
According to doctors, whooping cough is a respiratory disease. Which spreads from one person to another. The viruses of this disease pass from one person to another during coughing and sneezing. Whooping cough can be fatal in people who already have any respiratory disease. This cough is seen more in the elderly and small children. In such a situation, there is a need to take special care of their health.
How does this disease occur?
Dr. Ajay Kumar, a senior physician in Delhi, says that this cough is caused by a bacteria called Bordetella Pertussis. This bacteria enters the body through air and causes whooping cough. Symptoms start appearing in the patient 5 to 6 days after getting infected with this bacteria. Initially there is a mild cough and then the patient's condition becomes like that of an asthmatic patient. Suddenly there is difficulty in breathing and breathing even stops for a few seconds. If there is no treatment during this period, the patient may even die. However, if the symptoms are identified on time, the patient's life can be saved.
