My SiL just called to let me know her DD (3.5) has whooping cough!!!!!! Whilst its only a mild case - I visited with my DS 9 days ago Both DS and I are vaccinated ( I had my booster 6 months ago) - but so was my neice????

Area Health advised her to advise me to go for antibiotics, possibly for both of us - but I'm unsure of what else I should do. He is not sick but he has been to FDC the last two days and has to go again on Monday. Am I able to send him? Should I tell my carer? I have been back at work 1 week and can't take time off What are the chances of him getting sick? Or me? (of couse I am noew feeling "wheezy" and DID have a coughing fit this afternoon - I'm such a hypochindriac ) I also saw my mothers group on Thursday....do I scare them although he probably doesn't have it???

I called HealthDirect/Nurse on Call and she just read some stuff of the computer - she had no idea really????

What should I do? Advice gratefully received!
