All about the whooping cough, part two...

I woke up on Friday morning feeling moderately unwell, eight days since Mum got sick (incubation period for whooping cough is 7-10days). So off I went to the doctor to stick a couple of swizzle sticks up my nose (this is how you test for whooping cough), and get a prescription for antibiotics. I find out on Monday if the test is positive, but in the meantime the antibiotics seem to be keeping me from feeling too horrible.
