Frequent symptoms: It usually begins with symptoms similar to a cold and, as the days pass, progresses to repetitive coughing fits that sometimes end with a high-pitched sound on inhaling.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care with an intense or prolonged cough, difficulty breathing, or when it affects infants.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician and the pulmonologist are frequent references, and the internist or the infectious disease specialist may intervene depending on the case.
