Causes Of Pertussis
I am 22 years old, my daughter is 6 months old. Every time I get vaccinated, I have a fever, so I have not had the pertussis vaccine. Recently my daughter coughed a lot, not knowing if she has pertussis or not. Ask your doctor what is pertussis, how to prevent it? (Nguyen Thi Hoa - Lai Chau)

Pertussis is an acute respiratory infection, most often in winter-spring season, and is common in children under 5 years of age.
If not treated promptly, patients may die from respiratory failure, or leave serious complications leading to encephalitis
The causative agent of pertussis is a whooping cough bacillus called Bordetella pertussis. The disease is spread from an infected person to a healthy person through the respiratory tract through droplets of secretions from the mouth that contain pertussis bacteria.
Pertussis bacteria have very weak resistance, so the transmission is caused by direct contact, especially by people living in the same enclosed space for a long time, such as households and schools
People of all ages can get sick, but children 1-6 years of age are more likely to get sick.
The younger the child, the more severe the disease. In the past, the disease was widely circulated in our country but it has decreased much when there is a preventive vaccine of the Expanded Program of Immunization.Sick children often present with fever, fear of cold, coughing up gradually, especially at night, after coughing due to the rapid inhalation of the air causing spasms of the glottis, so it sounds like a whooping sound.
Coughing a lot also causes nosebleeds, sore throat, convulsive limbs, thirst, swollen eyelids, red eyes, and thin body.
Want to prevent the disease for children need for children from 2 months old to get vaccinated against diphtheria - pertussis - tetanus according to the vaccination schedule.
If your child has not had this vaccine, they will still get the first shot as usual. It is important to note that the signs of cough of her child may be due to bacterial infection, respiratory viral infection (in addition to whooping cough), so it is necessary for children to see a doctor for proper treatment and to avoid serious complications
