Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease marked by severe coughing. It is named after the "whoop" sound children and adults sometimes make when they try to breathe in during or after a severe coughing spell.
What are the Symptoms?
Whooping cough usually starts with cold- or flu-like symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, fever, and a mild cough. These symptoms can last up to 2 weeks and are followed by increasingly severe coughing spells. Fever, if present, is usually mild.

During a classic coughing spell:

signature "whoop" is heard as the patient struggles to breathe

coughs usually produce a thick, productive mucus

vomiting may occur

lips and nails may turn blue due to lack of oxygen

patient is left exhausted after the coughing spell

Mild pertussis disease is difficult to diagnose because its symptoms mimic those of a cold. Usually a prolonged cough is present, but without the "whoop."

Milder symptoms usually affect all age groups, but are increasing among school children.

The coughing attacks may last for many months in the "classic illness" or just a few days in the mild form of the disease.
Symptoms appear between 6 to 21 days (average 7-10) after exposure to the bacteria.What are Some Potential Complications?

Young infants are at highest risk for pertussis-related complications, including seizures, encephalopathy (swelling of the brain), otitis media (severe ear infection), anorexia (severe restriction of food intake) and dehydration.

In adolescents and adults, whooping cough can cause severe coughing that can make it hard to breathe, eat, or sleep, and can result in cracked ribs, pneumonia, or hospitalization.

How is it Spread?

Whooping cough is caused by a bacteria that is found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person, and is spread through close contact when an infected person talks, sneezes, or coughs.

It is most contagious during the first 2 to 3 weeks of infection, often before the beginning of severe coughing spells.

Vaccine protection against whooping cough does not last forever. The vaccination most people received as children wears off, typically by adolescence. Therefore, adolescents and adults are at risk for whooping cough and can spread the infection to infants and young children in the household.

Who Gets It?

Whooping cough (pertussis) can occur at any age, but infants and young children are at highest risk of life-threatening consequences.

Recent outbreaks have shown that adolescents and adults carry the disease, which in its milder form is hard to recognize. Undiagnosed mild disease contributes to the spread of the illness among infants and young children.

Persons with mild whooping cough can transmit the illness to un-immunized and partially immunized infants and young children who are more susceptible to severe illness and complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and seizures.

Anyone - particularly infants and young children - who is un-immunized is at a higher risk for severe whooping cough.

How Do You Treat It?

Whooping cough is treated with antibiotics and patients are advised to take all prescribed medication and avoid contact with anyone, particularly small infants and children.

Ask your health care provider for treatment options if you think you or your child may have whooping cough.

How Do You Prevent It?

While there is no lifelong protection against whooping cough, immunization is the best preventive measure. There is a vaccine to help protect you and your child against whooping cough.

The Sweetwater-Nolan County Health Department administers the Tdap vaccine to the uninsured, which protect a person from the whooping cough on Wednesdays from 8-11:30 & 1-4:30, second Wednesday of each month until 6 p.m. Click on Immunization tab for more information on immunizations.

Consult your health care provider to be sure you and your family have been vaccinated.

Please refer to the Center for Disease Control website at cdc.gov or pertussis.com for more information.
The Sweetwater-Nolan County Health Department does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability or age.

Easy ways to survive National Screen-Free Week, May 2-8.

Quick. Think of your child's favorite video game. Then your favorite social media site. Next, your must-see TV show. Then think of all your family could do together if you said goodbye to those digital distractions for one week.

That's the purpose of National Screen-Free Week, May 2-8. With the event right around the corner, take some time right now to prepare. Make a plan so you can use this time to take a break from screens and reset your family's priorities. Here are some tips that have worked for many families.

1. Recruit three or four families to join the screen-free week with you. Since we work better together in groups, find a few other families to commit to the week with you. Plan a few simple activities together. Meet after school at a library or bookstore to get new books and audiobooks. Go to a park to play. Take a trip to get frozen yogurt. It will be more fun if you invite others. and your kids will love it!

2. Eliminate screens in the morning or in cars. Create a new morning routine that doesn't include screens; this goes for Saturday morning, too! Use time in the car for fun and meaningful talk; you don't need a screen for that. Start the morning and end the day with family interaction, not staring into your separate screens.

3. Rearrange the furniture and turn the family room into a no-screen zone for a week-a real family room! Set up family puzzles and board games. Yes, get a few card tables out, if you need to. Hide TV remotes to eliminate the unnecessary channel surfing and background TV.

4. Encourage screen-free meals. Keep a basket in the laundry room or near the back door away from the kitchen to collect iPads and phones. Enlist every family member to prepare food and enjoy the meal together. Cooking is a favorite activity for kids, once they get involved.

5. Initiate real free play outdoors and inside. Get creative and rethink everything you can do outside, including reading and homework!

6. Have a plan for their hands. Think ahead about how to replace their handheld screens. This takes a little creativity on your end, but it's not hard. Create activity kits for little kids, with Play-Doh, special markers and paper. For big kids, get out real decks of cards and help them learn easy card games or Solitaire. Keep a stash of balls in the trunk for unexpected wait times.

7. Shut your laptop at 3:00. When the kids come home from school, set the screens aside and enjoy a snack and conversation with your child.

When you get a glimpse of how much your family really needs the break from screens, it may motivate you to hold on to some of these temporary changes. Your screen-free week may be a life-altering event.
