Whooping cough
My seven year old has had the whooping cough. she finished the zpack on the 12th. she started improving: not wheezing in between coughs and less coughing attacks. then two days ago she started getting worse again. she's wheezing/gasping for air (the whooping) between coughs, vomiting, more frequent attacks and they're much harder coughs. pediatrician just gave her a nasal allergy spray that hasn't done anything. coughing fits continue to get more frequent and harder.

If it is wheezing she requires nebulization regularly still it gets controlled. Consult a good pediatrician.
