colds are viral and take about 10-14 days to run their course (i know-just what you wanted to hear right?)
your doing just about everything normal used to treat the symptoms.
you can try taking dayquil while you're awake-this will help relieve the sore throat and keep you from having a cough and runny nose.
you can also drink warm tea w/honey,suck on ice cubes or candy, or gargle with warm salt water (2tsp of salt to 8oz of water) to ease the sore throat.
rest is the best thing for you and make sure to drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration.
everyone gets sick eventually and i'm sure you're new boss will understand-i don't think he/she wants to get sick either!!
good luck to you

Keep quiet, give your self time to heel. Try to gargle with warm salt water. If it keeps up you sahould go have it checked. Might need antiboics . Good Luck Pem
