You've gotten good advice from many with years of experience. Each time it seems as if you have found some shred of evidence to minimize the possibility of serious illness. We cannot diagnose. If your friend is right, fine. If she is wrong, you may well find a dead pig in a day or two. Our critter's lives are in our hands.I've heard that sometimes its from their bedding? A friend of mine said her guinea pig had something exactly like these symptoms and its was just from his bedding, so they mixed in wood with their carefresh?
Sometimes bedding is an issue, but you cannot just assume that bedding is the problem. If you can, I would strongly recommend fleece bedding for its cost-effectiveness and ease of cleaning. That way, you don't have a risk of aggravating a pig's sensitive upper respiratory system.

I understand being worried about your pigs. When my pig Toni got sick, I cried. A lot. I hope that this post helps you out!
