I would suggest that something in your work environment is causing an upper respiratory tract infection. Is there dust or noxious fumes present? Do other workers suffer the same effects? Is your employer aware of your concerns? Does the symptoms disappear when you are not at work? Visit a doctor and get his advice.

It does sound as if your work environment is too dry - I would suggest drinking plenty of water while you are in there. Sucking sweets might help too - something to moisten your mouth and throat. Do you do a lot of talking? That could give you laryngitis, especially if you have to raise your voice too. See if anyone else is suffering - if so, maybe you could get your boss to do something about it. I think it would be wise to ask your doctor to check out your throat too - just to be on the safe side.

It might be related to the building you are working in. I know it sounds daft but, if its air conditioned the air can be far too dry and cause these symptoms. Also you have been exposed to a whole new bunch of bugs from all your co workers and it takes time for your immune system to work out its defences. Do you use the phone a lot? Have you ever cleaned it, or seen it being cleaned? Think about how close it is to your face?

It sounds like you have an allergy to something in your work place..you say its dusty etc . See your doctor to check but I suspect for the sake of your health and well being this is not the job for you. All the best J
