    Just adding to what the other posters have said - it is not likely you will have it forever but a few people I know who have had WC notice that if they get into a coughing fit now (in some cases 15+ years since they had WC) the whoop sound can come back.

    A lot of the ladies have already given the advice I was going to post... good luck and take care

    ust got a call from the doc he said to def make sure i take those meds. he also said to take "bisolven" if i want to,
    anyone else taken this before?
    also i have been staying away from all dairy products (milk,chocolate) because i heard this makes u more flemy.. is this true? am i torturing myself for no reason? haha
    thanks for the all the well wishes guys.
    with me its more of a mind thing. i only get upset when i think of how much longer im going to be unwell.. and if this is going to harm my baby in any way
    and also with this sickness .. have i caused anyone else to be unwell? i wouldnt wish this upon anyone

    First and foremost - baby is perfectly safe!

    The filmtabs are the right stuff - but what it took me a couple of calls to find out is that they will make you feel even worse for a few days.

    The cough can linger for a long while but after 5 days on the tabs you will no longer be contagious.

    Let anyone you have been in contact with since you first started showing flu symptoms know, especially if they have contact with very young children.

    Finally yes, dairy products can make you a bit more phlegmy. Try instead some honey in hot water with a bit of cinnamon. But dont torture yourself - the cough will do that enough!

    just a quick question, when do i take the ees 400? it says one pill 4 times a day with food
    so what like every 4 hours?
    can taking them too close togther cause any problems?

    Oh Stevie! I'm so sorry you've got WC! I'm starting to think that's what I got, but it's come with all the cold/flu like things before it. Sending MAJOR hugs hun
