Best Answer

Whooping cough is a respiratory tract infection that is highly contagious. Diagnosis of whooping cough can be difficult because the symptoms and signs are similar to other common respiratory illnesses. Doctors may use a throat culture or nose test, blood tests or a chest X-ray to further diagnose the illness.
