Avoiding Cough Triggers
for Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
Avoiding smoke, dust, cold air and other irritants that can trigger severe coughing fits.
How it works
Airway irritants stimulate cough receptors triggering the paroxysmal coughing characteristic of pertussis. Avoidance reduces episode frequency.
What to watch for
Ensure smoke-free environment. Keep indoors during cold windy weather. Air purifiers may help reduce indoor irritants.
