Mostly infants and young children get affected by this disease and it's terrible non-stop coughing.

It makes it very hard to breathe after the coughing bouts. The reason it's hard to breathe is that the coughing bouts last for so long and they keep going on and on until the disease goes away and until you get some medicine or the vaccine. One quote that I liked from the websites I used was "young infants can go blue and stop breathing with bad coughing bouts." I like this quote because it explains how hard it would be on a baby and how it affects your body.
There are a few cures and treatments, you can get a vaccine before you get the disease or you can take antibiotics to help stop the disease and to help get recovered quicker. One quote I like from one of the websites I used was "whooping cough is uncommon in children in the UK, mainly due to immunization. Antibiotics kill the bacteria causing whooping cough and help speed up the recovery." I like this quote because it explains the ways you can prevent the disease and how you can stop
