Whooping cough is making a comeback: 5 symptoms of pertussis you must know
Image credits: Getty Images With more and more young kids opting out of vaccines, the cases of pertussis or whooping cough have been on the rise in the United States of America, with more than six times as many cases of the infection being reported last year than in 2023. 2025 alone has seen more than 8,000 cases of the infection. What is whooping cough, and what are the symptoms you should be on the lookout for? Find out below! Understanding whooping cough Image credits: Getty Images Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is an infection caused by bacteria known as Bordetella pertussis. It is mostly known to affect babies and young children, but can affect anyone of any age. While it begins with cold-like symptoms, it progresses into constant and rapid coughing spells that often lead to vomiting and are followed by a whooping sound. When it comes to preventing the infection, vaccination is the best method. These are of two types: DTaP, to protect young children from diptheria, tetanus and pertussis. Tdap, to protect preteens through adults against diptheria, pertussis and tetanus and use during pregnancy. Symptoms of whooping cough The symptoms can take 5-10 days to appear after exposure to the bacteria. There are 5 symptoms that can help you figure out if one has whooping cough. These include: Cold-like early symptoms Image credits: Getty Images In the early stages, whooping cough is mostly disguised as a common cold with symptoms such as a runny or stuffed nose, low-grade fever, and mild and occasional cough. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Few Women Know This Household Item Fades Dark Spots Overnight Undo This can last for 1-2 weeks. Intense coughing Post 1-2 weeks, people can develop paroxysms, called coughing fits, which can last for up to 10 weeks. This includes symptoms such as fatigue after coughing, difficulty sleeping at night, fracture in the rib and difficulty breathing. "Whoop" sound Image credits: Getty Images One of the easiest ways to find out if you or your baby has whooping cough is to be on the lookout for the sound of "whoop" between intense and constant coughing. This typically happens when you are trying to inhale air after a coughing episode. Apnea and colour changes Some babies might not cough at all. They may gag or struggle in breathing, their lips, skin or nails might change colour to blue or purple, or they may have life-threatening pauses in breathing called apnea. Vomiting Image credits: Getty Images Vomiting after coughing fits and extreme fatigue are two common symptoms one should be on the lookout for. People may not be able to sleep properly and may feel extremely exhausted after the coughing episodes.

This habit with smoking can increase your chances of oral cancer by 624% in the next 5 years
Image credits: Getty Images Smoking leaves behind more than just a taste in your mouth; it leaves behind an elevated risk of oral cancer. In the media, a theory called Cognitive Dissonance is taught to students. It focuses on the discomfort felt when holding conflicting beliefs, leading to people justifying their behaviour. When it comes to smoking, the theory is applied unknowingly by every person addicted to the habit, where they are well aware of the risks and damages it can cause, but keep on justifying the habit with reasons. While this may seem harmless, it can be fatal. Not only smoking, a new study out of YC San Diego suggests that a chronic weed habit can also lead to a high risk of oral cancer. People who often smoke marijuana are 3.25 times likely to contract the disease within 5 years when compared to those without the cannabis use disorder. 'Cannabis smoke contains many of the same carcinogenic compounds found in tobacco smoke, which have known damaging effects on the epithelial tissue that lines the mouth,' said Raphael Cuomo, an associate professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at UC San Diego School of Medicine and member of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, to the NY Post. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 60,000 new cases of oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer AND ABOUT 12,800 deaths have been reported in the US this year. Oral cancer includes cancer in the lips, tongue, gums and lining of the cheeks and the mouth. The common risk factors of the disease include tobacco use, chronic alcohol addiction and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The increasing risk of oral cancer Image credits: Getty Images The researchers analysed health data from over 45,000 oral cancer patients, including 949 who had been previously diagnosed with cannabis use disorder. They accounted for the factors of age, sex, body mass index and smoking status. They revealed that tobacco smokers with a cannabis addiction are 624% more likely to get oral cancer within 5 years, compared to cigarette users who don't smoke marijuana. The inhaled smoke, as per researchers, damages the mouth tissues and causes cancer. 'Research is still evolving, so regular self-checks and dental exams remain wise for all cannabis users,' said Cuomo. Along with this study, a 2024 study from the University of Southern California also linked marijuana consumption to a 3-5 5-fold increase in the risk of head and neck cancers, of which oral cancer is a type. Cuomo suggested seeing a dentist or an ENT specialist if one has a sore, ulcer, red or white patch in the mouth that has lasted for more than two weeks. 'Early evaluation is critical because oral cancers caught in the first stage are usually curable,' he said.

Early immunisation critical in preventing RSV in infants
Respiratory illnesses in newborns are a major cause of concern, especially when they involve difficulty in breathing. Among the leading causes is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a common and highly severe virus that affects the lungs and airways of infants and children under five. This virus often mimics symptoms of a common cold, such as a runny nose or low-grade fever. This similarity can create confusion for parents and health care providers alike, leading to delays in detection and intervention, which allows the illness to rapidly escalate. Vaccination (Getty Images/iStockphoto) For newborns and infants, whose immune systems are still developing, and airways are small, RSV can quickly become serious. Their tiny airways can get easily blocked by swelling and mucus, leading to lung infections like bronchiolitis or pneumonia. Each year, RSV leads to over 3.6 million hospitalisations and about 100 000 deaths in children under five years of age. As per WHO, most paediatric RSV deaths (97%) occur in low- and middle-income countries where there is limited access to supportive medical care. Even healthy, full-term babies can face complications, and in some cases, require intensive medical care. In India, RSV cases spike during the monsoon and early winter, but the virus can circulate throughout the year. This makes timely protection critical. Medical advancements now offer a way to shield infants through immunisation strategies. While the RSVpreF maternal vaccine is not yet available in India, two monoclonal antibodies have emerged as key preventive options in India. Palivizumab, is administered monthly to high-risk infants such as those born prematurely or with underlying heart or lung conditions. Nirsevimab, on the other hand, is a long-acting monoclonal antibody offering protection with a single-dose. It is designed for all infants regardless of risk category and can be administered soon after birth, before hospital discharge, or during early routine check-ups. Early immunization plays a vital role in protecting infants not just from immediate illness, but also from long-term respiratory complications. Severe RSV infections in the first year of life have been linked to increased risk of recurrent wheezing, asthma, ear infections, and reduced lung function well into adolescence. Infants are especially vulnerable because their immune systems are still developing, and their smaller airways are more easily blocked by inflammation caused by the virus. By providing protection before exposure, through timely use of preventive monoclonal antibodies, we are better equipped to avoid serious outcomes for babies. Parents must understand the importance of stopping the virus before it can take hold, reducing the likelihood of hospitalisation and long-term health issues. For parents and health care providers alike, early immunisation isn't just a seasonal precaution, it's a critical investment in the child's long-term respiratory health and overall well-being.
