There are ways to manage showing up to work with cold symptoms. First, start with limiting contact with others and minimizing the spread of germs by washing hands often. Next, aim for comfortable attire (such as sweaters rather than tight collars) that allows breathability and covers any visible signs of a cold (such as a stuffy nose). Thirdly, it would be beneficial to stay hydrated and energized— drink plenty of water and try bringing snacks or healthy meals that may provide lasting energy. Finally, consider getting adequate sleep — not just rest but ensuring your body can recover in a sustained manner from illnesses. While these measures may not be foolproof in concealing cold symptoms at work, they can potentially reduce visible signs so you can continue working normally until you recover fully.

It is best to limit contact with coworkers and try to avoid sharing anything about your health. Wearing a face covering such as a hat, scarf, sunglasses and face paint can also help obscure any telltale signs of illness. For the most inconspicuous method, consider buying disposable surgical masks that are commonly available in local drugstores and supermarkets. If necessary, keep some over-the-counter medicines on hand that may help reduce symptoms. Always follow the dosage instructions carefully and never exceed the recommended dose.
