[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, possibility of whooping cough is less in your case. Whooping cough is caused by pertussis bacteria. And vaccination with pertussis vaccine is mandatory in childhood for prevention of whooping cough. You must have vaccinated with pertussis vaccine in childhood, so no need to worry about pertussis at present. Possibility of viral Upper respiratory tract infection (URI) is more. So Chat Doctor.  Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Start antihistamines and anti-inflammatory
