1. For a runny nose, take Benadryl. (That also guarantees you will rest when it knocks you unconscious.)
2. For a sore throat, suck on Werther's Originals. If it were Day 1, I would advise keeping a zinc lozenge in your mouth, but it's no help once the cold really gets going.
3. For a cough, take a hit of an albuterol inhaler after ever coughing spell. Take cough syrup on a schedule. Neither 1 or 2 above will get better as long as you are coughing.
NOTE: If you have high blood pressure, do NONE of the above, except the Werther's. If you have high BP, you are screwed. Just plan on waiting it out another week until either it goes away or you die.
4. Finally, have mercy on your coworkers and take a sick day. Sharing is over rated.
5. Get Better Soon!
