Whooping cough warning as cases rise in Pennsylvania, New Jersey

During the pandemic, with so many restrictions in place, respiratory illnesses like the flu and whooping cough went way down.

Now cases are back up at pre-pandemic levels.

As kids go back to school, doctors want parents to be aware.

Juliette Osborne, of Lumberton, knows her 10-year-old daughter, Emmani, well. While she has multiple chronic conditions, the symptoms she started having in July were unusual.

"Whooping cough at night, and I'm talking about 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. She stopped eating. She was extremely fatigued," said Osborne.
