I have a cold. I have to work. Any suggestions on what over the counter medicine works best?

echinacea, megadosing on vitamin c, and lots of hot herbal tea with honey and lemon.
also, if you can swallow, eating whole citrus.
and drinking over 80oz of water/kool-aid/juice-water (1/2 juice, 1/2 water) each day, just steady hydration.
also, try to 'converse with your smile' as much as possible and get paid for hanging around instead of taking off clothing where you can. if you can just avoid a lot of exertion and still get paid, that helps.
oh, and benadryl to keep you from snuffling at work.
Mucinex is the best if you have a cough.....................Sudafed if you're nasaly.
Try not to take anything that will dry you out too much...
I've done this before with a cold- didn't realize it until I had been in the smoke for a while. Was worse than I felt before I took something...
Feel better!!
Zycon, multi v's and lots of vit. c
Thanks guys. I did okay. I managed to hide my coughs in the dressing room and the only obvious symtom I had was that I completely lost my voice by the end of the night.
I feel really guilty going to work sick and possibly contaminating all the other girls, but everyone else was sick, too. I took a week off before I attempted to go back in and it seems this bug has run through everyone. Ahh, change of weather.
