Whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial infection.
Whooping cough bacteria spread from person to person through the air - as when a susceptible person inhales airborne droplets from an infected person's sneeze or cough. The incubation period for whooping cough is usually 7 to 10 days, with a range of 5 to 21 days. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.
