Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Whooping cough causes severe spasmodic type of cough more during nights.
Erythromycin is the drug of choice.
Asthalin nebulisation will prevent severity of cough.
Better consult pediatrician and follow his advice.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
