Pertussis (whooping cough) – Akron Children’s Hospital video
Contact us to Add Your Hospital
Although vaccines have limited its impact in the United States, pertussis still kills thousands of people throughout the world each year. In this Children's Channel video, Michael Forbes, MD, an intensivist in the pediatric intensive care unit at Akron Children's Hospital, discusses the symptoms of this disease, as well as its treatment and prevention. CORRECTION: Dr. Forbes misstates the number of deaths from pertussis. According to information shared by the CDC in 2017, there were more than 24 million cases of pertussis worldwide with more than 160,700 deaths.
Love the way he explains it
I literally have all the symptoms my coughing is so loud and before all of this I sneezed like a lot
I’d recommend that you see a doctor
If you have whopping cough im praying for you ✋
When I was 4 months old I almost died from this. Now I’m 10 and living happy!
@Flowers and daisy chains ur gonna be fine
@Weenie Hut Jr. you already adult ( your body, not your mind ), so most of time you will be ok. Pertussis is dangerous on baby and children
@Flowers and daisy chains u didn’t get the vaccine?

Flowers and daisy chains same I’m 18 and I think i got it. Started with a terrible runny nose the day before thanksgiving. Like my nose was dripping constantly. And EVERY time I blew my nose it was a ridiculous amount of mucus/snot. I remember waking up on thanksgiving , at like 2 in the morning because I felt awful.. I woke myself up coughing, with the most painful fever I’ve ever had, and the coughing was just as painful too. My mom wanted to rush me to the hospital when she woke up because I’m pretty tan, but my face was so pale my mom said she thought I was dying .. It’s been 3 days I think since this all started Wednesday morning and now it’s Saturday. My fever FINALLY went away this morning. My body still feels so fatigued and nauseous, I still have somewhat of a runny nose, and I definitely still have a cough just not constant coughing like it was before, but it still hurts so much. My throat and body aches it feels like I’m getting punched in the throat and lungs everytime I cough.
Very informative! This doctor knows what he’s talking about
That music at the beginning is what I live for.
why just talking, please show me as a student pertussis -.-
Brother died from this. Decided to see how. Thank you so much, now I understand
Yea antivaxxers learn the hard way. Rip
Except now in Texas a whole school shut down and 100% of the kids that had whooping cough, were vaccinated. Look it up.
I had pertussis when i was 9 now im 10 :’)
Someone in my school has this and everyone is trying not to breath or cough.
Thanks a lot for these information! ?
My big brother Micah had the Whooping Cough!
i cough like that though. only when I’m sick, it’s any sickness I have , I get that exact cough . repeatedly coughing, unable to catch my breath. I’m 13 btw wtf am I in danger
goodbye yeah was nice knowing you
It might be asthma
@Blue hawk Videos that’s the body either responding to the vaccine as it is practically the dead virus/bacteria or responding to an actual threat as your immune system is heightened.
Antibiotics?
@Blue hawk Videos oof
Someone help… I’m 13 and I keep waking up at 2 in the morning coughing and gagging feeling like i have to throw up
Acid Reflux is my guess
Happens to me. Just get some ventolin and you will be ok for a bit
Hope you’re ok How are you now?
Oh shoo-
I was born with Pertussis and made it past an infant though I still hate my coughing i sound like a seal
I had pneumonia and asthma when I was 3 months old and I had to go to the hospital for a week because I couldn’t breathe.
I’m watching this because of kat von d LOL
Thanks
This?is?why?we?vaccinate?our?children
My boyfriend has it and hes vaccinated?♀️
@0000 0000 hope you are doing well now!
@Nadia Muller Geesh Im telling you smh Isn’t this the truth. Everyone is different. Thanks for sharing.
Fully vaccinated. Got pertussis twice. It was worse than my unvaccinated sister. DTaP isn’t effective and only masks the symptoms. You still get pertussis. ?

This is horrendous. I’ve looked after children with it. Every antivaxxer should be made to sit and watch these kids
Alief Rezki ur correct I don’t live in a 3rd world country therefore I don’t have to make those decisions for my child’s life and ur right again….it isn’t 100% safe that’s why options should be allowed and not forced. Let me do my own research and pick what’s best for me and my family. Medicine have options and so should vaccines. And if i don’t like the risk (or that airline company ) than I shall choose another method of traveling ). Furthermore with meds, we are given the side effects upfront and are usually allowed a choice. You are the decision maker for ur child and body. No one else.
And there’s no compensation for vaccine injuries or deaths.You can not sue the vaccine co. by law. Rare? The more I research the more I uncover videos of vaccine injured families testimonies and it’s heart breaking just as any other medical failure the only difference is they lack much support from ppl like you and I who haven’t shared the experience first hand and law that was passed decades ago protecting only vaccine companies not holding them accountable. ?
@Alyssa Swann Nothing is 100 guaranteed, if you use plane, nobody guarantee you that the plane journey will be safe. If you use car, what if the brake suddenly malfunction ? Drug company can only guarantee that 99,999% vaccine are safe. Unforeseen effect of vaccine are rare, unless the vaccine are defected, it’s not the company fault, but still you get compensation.
You’re paranoid about vaccine effect to only very very minority. Here is a fact, the rich also use vaccine. Same for those doctor that encounter patient every few year ( because it’s rare ) who get anaphylatic shock from vaccine. They understand that vaccine are not perfect, but still use it.
You don’t live in 3rd world so you dont know newborn baby that died because hep b, paralysed children due to polio, rabies patient that die because there is no cure for rabies except rabies vaccine
@Alyssa Swann it’s not company fault if your body allergic to vaccine
And every provaxxer should be made to sit and watch the testimonials of those who were personally affected by vaccine injury. It goes both ways to make an informed decision for yourself and those you are responsible for. I just wish vaccine companies were held by law responsible for those it affects negatively. Everyone else is who makes products.
Very informative – thank you for sharing
