Son (14 years old) still had whooping cough in April. Cough remains. Today he coughed up until vomiting during class, as a result, the class teacher called and said to come and pick him up. She also wished for his recovery and said that a medical certificate would be needed. Nothing hurts particularly, but should I not take my child to school for this reason? How can I ease the cough? There is no medical staff at school.
