Any medical faggots out there that can tell me if I am about to suffer a horrible death?

So a little more than a week ago I got sick - coughing, closed nose and felt bad for a few days. I took a few Corona-quick tests that was all negative.

On monday my airways was fine again tho I kept coughing, and I called my boss to say that I'd probably be back to work mid-week. Mid-week comes and I continue to have a "wet/snotty" cough, but I have no trouble breathing in general.

Now it's been more than a week, and I haven't seen any improvement in the "wet/snotty" cough, and it honestly feels like it's not in my throat but in my actual loungs that the wetness/snot comes from.

I mistrust doctors and really don't feel like going to a hospital, but I'm beginning to think that I should. Any qualified opinions as to what this could be if not COVID?
