Whooping cough is a disease which happens to attack children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years of age. It is highly contagious for the first few weeks. It typically happens to children who are undernourished and in some cases it can cause bronchi pneumonia or even death. Before trying any home remedies be sure that your child is seen by a doctor first and follow that treatment. The home remedies for whooping cough are just meant to help the child to heal faster with the assistance of modern medicine. Younger children may need more aggressive rapid treatment. When you suspect your child might be developing whopping cough you can treat it early at home to prevent it from developing into full blown whooping cough. Vaccinations have pros and cons and while it can help to prevent whopping cough it is also one of the most dangerous vaccines with serious side effects.
Home Remedies and treatments for whopping cough
First of all treat the cough-when the first sign of a cough develops to stop it from getting any worse. This can entirely prevent the whooping cough phase from even starting. To treat the cough naturally at home you can use wild cherry bark tea or other herbs designed to help cure a cough. When the cough first starts prepare a tea and have the child drink 4 spoonfuls or more of the tea every hour. It may also be helpful to pick up a homeopathic cough medicine at the local health food store that is designed for children. Be sure to read the instructions carefully.
To build up the child's immune system prepare a vegetable juice in the morning with carrot, apple, ginger and beets along with 2 or more cloves or garlic. If too much garlic is in the juice the child may have a difficult time drinking it. You know what your child will be able to handle. Add extra apples for sweetness if the child has a hard time eating vegetables.
Cleanse your child's system with high herb enemas or an herbal laxative.
Be sure that your child takes a whole food children's multivitamin and mineral supplement year round as a preventative measure. Be sure that the vitamins contain plenty of Vitamin A and C.
Steam inhalations can also help the child a great deal. They can be given every 2 to 4 hours depending on how sick the child is.
Never give a young child aspirin as it may result in death. Always speak with your doctor before giving the child anything for pain.

Whooping cough needs to be monitored closely and in most cases home remedies can used along with treatments from western medicine to help the child get better faster.
