Ive had it now for a few days, My chest and throat are are all congested, and i notice it especially when im trying to take deep breaths. Iam always running/working out but the past 2 weeks i havent done any cardio or workout in fear it would stop the progress of me getting better, does cardio activity help with this kinda of sickness?

You need something like Robitussin, with decongestant and expectorant. The sooner you get that stuff out, the sooner you'll get better.

this is the best thing that works for me:
get eucalyptus oil (can be found most anywhere like a store like Target in the bath oils aisle) or even just vicks rub.
turn your bathroom sink on with the hottest water you can, and stop the sink up. pour the oil or dump the vicks in the steaming hot water.

Take a large towel and put your face above the sink of hot water and oil then cover the entire bowl and your head with the towel and breathe deeply. do this for as long as you can take it.

this should help the sutffiness.
