How do I shift this cold/viral infection ASAP?

[IKnowAPlace]

Headaches for a week, a few days of feeling achey and exhausted, add in congestion and generally feeling cold/flu-y for a week and a half.

I'm prone to sinus infections when I have colds and can feel a little pressure there now, plus I have a cough that's making me gag. I generally feel a bit better, but still not 100%.

I've tried:

• lots of rest
• lemsip/sudafed (stopped this now, though)
• ginger shots/ginger and lemon tea
• plenty of water

I'm travelling for work from Wednesday first thing until Saturday so I'd really like to feel a bit more fresh by then. It's not something I can get out of due to a cold.

Any suggestions? Ideally things I can bring with me.

It might be covid.

Rest, rest and then rest some more.

And treat symptoms by whatever seems to work best (which seems to be "not a lot" from what you describe)

One other thing to try is one of those saline sniff things. Irrigating your sinuses can help
