What is the treatment of whooping cough and when should it be given?



Answer: Macrolides (eg, azithromycin) should be given in the prodromal or catarrhal stage to render the patient noninfectious and prevent spread to contacts.

However, treatment does not alter the clinical course of the disease in the source patient.
