This is the psychological meaning of whooping cough/pertussis, according to Antonie Peppler, the inventor of Creative Homeopathy, and her analysis of symptom language. Symptom language is the concept that our deeper self communicates via symptoms by somatizing a specific archetypical conflict that is suppressed on a conscious level. The psychological meaning of whooping cough/pertussis is the unconscious attempt to force recognition or be recognized by others.
We refer to this illness also as the “kissing disease.” Once you understand that the patient with pertussis is sick and tired of being friendly/lovely and still not getting the attention he craves, we could also interpret this common name as a general “dis-ease with kissing a**es any longer.”
Homeopathy and whooping cough/pertussis
The patient with whooping cough/pertussis has had enough peaceful imitation and conformity to others. He finally wants to be recognized as his own personality and demands to be accepted by others. But he also sees himself “alone against the rest of the world” and fights (desperately and convulsively) against it.
“The attempt to force recognition”
Pertussis
What has been swallowed and not coped with is now being processed. But the confidence in his own abilities is not yet fully developed. He wants to be accepted for his individuality and “coughs up to others.” You could consider the coughing a form of barking as we see it with dogs that demand attention.

The psychological meaning of infectious diseases
The psychological meaning of Infectious diseases like pertussis, in general, is associated with basic issues and beliefs that a person wants and has to deal with. These are behavioral customs brought along by the family, which can and should be overcome by living through those diseases. This implication also applies to childhood illnesses or pediatric diseases. They indicate that life themes are still being judged and therefore are pathogenic.
