I thought and had read the symptoms but I had no whooping sound. Just the cough.

Same shit here. Started just before the NY, still had cough 1 week ago, got azithromycin that seemed to have helped with cough a lot, but I only had it for 4 days and 4 more days later the cough is back. No whooping sounds, or maybe there were in the beginning. Had a flu vaccine in November.

Thought most of us took whooping cough vaccine as kids. Its part of DTaP vaccine.
