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.

When a person is experiencing high levels of stress, bodily functions and chemical processes within the body become imbalanced. Stress causes the heart to pump extra and the brain produces high levels of chemicals to trigger a protective response to stressors. People who experience chronic stress tend to develop other diseases (e.g. heart failures, stroke) that may lead to death. In order to manage stress a person must engage in breathing and relaxing exercises that may return the body back to its homeostasis. </span></span></span>
