Is it just a cold or something else?

The last 3 days I've been coughing a lot, breathing is hard, and it's squeeking every time I breathe. I already Googled it a little bit and I found out it can't be astma, since I'm 19 years old. Does anyone know what it could be? And what could help?

You could have a cold. Are you having hot flashes, nausea, and dizziness? If so you have the flu. You are merely having the symptoms of a cold. Try drinking hot tea and cough medicine. Hope this helps! ~Dr.Parker

I suggest you see a doctor. I was going to say it could be the possibility of asthma but I have no idea now since you said you did research. At least, on what I hope was a reliable source.
