'Pertussis' is the medical term for which illness?

as kids in the 50's and 60's, we had to get a DPT shot to cover diptheria, pertussis, and tetanus

I got whooping cough when I was 15 and had to leave school that year because it lasted months. Finished school later.

was there not a cough medecine called PERTUSSIN?

Player #41385943, I got it in 1962 in 2nd grade. My parents gave me whiskey, lemon, and honey. It was awful treatment. Really hard to swallow that as a child.

WalksBySelf, My younger brother got this when he was an infant. My oder sister alleged infected him.It was so stressful to here and see him cough so much .Sad times . he was giving antibiotics by my mother. 1974.

I came down with this in 2011 because there were too many unvaccinated kids at my children's school. At least I didn't die from it like little ones used to
