Answer:

Petussis

Explanation:

Pertussis, or whoop cough, is an acute infectious contagious disease of the respiratory tract transmitted by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Cases of the disease have increased in several countries in recent years. Symptoms last about 6 weeks and may be represented by low fever, runny nose, sneezing, tearing, poor appetite and malaise. As the disease progresses, the patient may experience very strong coughing fits. Suddenly at first, these accessions are brief, but occur one after the other, successively, without the patient being able to breathe between them and are followed by a deep inhalation that produces a sharp sound like an audible whoop.

The child, presented in the question, has symptoms related to pertussis, so we can say that this child is infected with the disease.

Bipolar disorder and depression are considered what type of mental health disorder?
nadezda [96]

Bipolar disorder and depression are Mood Disorders.

This means that they are both mental health conditions that affect your mood in a chronic way, it is more than just being sad or happy. Depression is chronic (meaning long lasting), persistent, debilitating sadness/misery/despair. It creates extreme low mood. Bipolar disorder is a mixture of depression and mania. Depression would be the low mood and mania would be the exact opposite which is extreme high mood and happiness which leads to irrational and sometimes destructive behavior.

What is (U.S.) health insurance in general, and how does it work?
Airida [17]

Health insurance offers a way to reduce such costs to more reasonable, affordable amounts. The way it typically works is that the consumer pays an up front premium to a health insurance company and that payment allows you to share "risk" with lots of other people who are making similar payments.
