@beardalaxy Well, the reason is that I'm not in a state to go there normally and wait it out and frankly there's nothing they can do unless they have some mega OP mucolytic (without being invasive). Sorry, but I'm a doomer pussy so I'm overdramatizing. Perk of living close to a city is that EMS is actually really close, so death isn't actually a realistic possibility.
Thankfully, the antibiotic I had stashed away seems to be working, I got some sleep and I managed to properly caught a lot of phlegm so I think I'm gonna make it.
