Coronavirus?: First self-isolate. If your symptoms get worse please go to a Doctor to find out what type of virus or infection you have and get the right kind of medication or call an ambulance to take you to the emergency room of your nearest hospital where you can get tested. (3/29/20)

Not paranoid: Consider consulting with your doctor via telemedicine or virtual health. Since COVID 19 can actually present with no symptoms, even having just two possible symptoms means that you might have the disease. Since, you have a bad cough, I recommend quarantining until you get tested.
