I don't know if it's *still* going around, but I had it in March of this year. It's not a cold...it's the flu. Mine started with a horrible headache, then a sore throat, then coughing and coughing and coughing. Body aches and fever rounded out the illness. It's viral so they can't really give you anything for it, except to relieve symptoms. Nothing will get rid of them but time.
A cough suppressant at night, a cough expectorant during the day, Vicks Vaporub, and nasal spray or oral decongestant are the items I used for the duration of my illness (which happened to be a total of 4 weeks).
I hope you feel better soon. : (

It could be a very bad case of the flu or pneumonia. You really should go to urgent care asap. In some cases, even in young people, it can be fatal if untreated/supported. Good luck. Jessica R.N.
