At first, whooping cough has the same symptoms as the average cold: Mild coughing Sneezing Runny nose Low fever (below 102 F) You may also have diarrhea early on. After about 7-10 days, the cough turns into ?coughing spells? that end with a whooping sound as the person tries to breathe in air. It spreads very easily, but vaccines like DTaP and Tdap can help prevent it in children and adults. ?coughing
