my bf thinks the baby boy has whooping cough....I hope not.

I keep hearing this.. what is it?

in other words pertussis.

its a contagious disease that most common in children N - 6MONTHS and 11-18. it's when they have coughing fits.

@sexii_diiva,

is it fatal.?

@sexii_diiva, can be especially in infants because before 6months they can't get the vaccine. vaccine helps prevent it.

ooo okay... how common is it? like common as the flu, chicken pox? or common as getting bit by a mosquito?
