I have a miserable cold, need to go to work tomorrow. Any help?

I stayed home today. Have to go tomorrow. Any suggestions other than chicken soup?
Answer:
Theres always some good medicine for the sniffles and cold. You should take an OTC (OVER THE COUNTER) drug that has some dextromethorphan and some guafanesin in it (ex dayquill). This combination will help help as an expectorant and to get some of that nasty phlem you got hanging around but for tonight go and get you some benadryl its got diphenahydramine which will make ya have a good nights rest. I would not suggest taking the benadryl during the day or while driving cause for some people this drug hits hard and knocks ya out. Hope you feel better and hope this helps
Get plenty of rest and take medicine like cold and flu drinks to help
Dont go.You will infect everyone.
Dayquil
You should just kick back and relax, don't go to work tomorrow if you aren't felling better. If you keep pushing yourself, you'll get a fever and then you will exhaust yourself and have to miss work for longer!
Dayquil does a really good job of making the symptoms tolerable during the day...unless you're like me and react funny to it. I personally like sudefed, clears up my nose. Other than that, lots of rest and lots of fluids.
Best thing to do, sweat it out, go running, sit ups and drink fluids, take hot shower, then keep active, it should flush out of your system soon, promise! SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT!!! Drink orange juice too, has vitamins to speed up your immune system!!!
If you don't want to use drugs
Get lemons and suqeeze them into a glass. Add hot water and sugar to taste.
For sore throat cube some pickeld fish and one onion. take one tblsp of fish and one tblsp of onion alternatly until you have eaten all of it (makes thirsty)
For your stuffy sinuses heat some saltwater on the stove and inhale.If you wnat to use drugs
Vic Vaporub and Nyquil
Try Mucinex. It is solid. It really helps with congestion and runny noses. I can't sing its praises enough. Also try hot green tea with honey and lemon in it.
Alkaseltzer plus flu (the orange box) works for me everytime!
