The most common injury associated with whooping cough (pertussis) is rib fractures, which can occur due to severe and prolonged coughing fits. These coughing episodes can also lead to other complications, such as pneumonia, hernias, and in some cases, fainting or even broken blood vessels. Infants are particularly vulnerable and may experience serious complications like apnea or difficulty breathing. Vaccination is crucial in preventing whooping cough and its associated injuries.
