I just started working at a new place as of last Tuesday, I worked half the day, no work on Wed & Thursday all day, at the end of that day I came home with a sore throat and my sinuses were getting irritated. By Friday it was getting worse and by Saturday I broke down and bought over the counter meds to help. They are but I don't like taking Tylenol as much as I have to help with headaches. I am sitting under the high powered AC, the filters are visibly dirty & I have called to have them cleaned but that won't happen until Friday. This building is an old Termite extermination building. I am noticing that they only things besides Tylenol cold & sinus meds is cold packs on my sinuses. I do that & I am all better, I walk in here & I begin to sneeze uncontrollably. Help I love this job but I cannot live on sinus meds!!!

Yes, of course it can. If you're not sure, try wearing a surgical mask while at work and seeing if that helps relieve the symptoms. Make sure it is of the finest filtration.

You might try Benadryl. It might make you a littly drowsy but it works fairly well.
