Is It Advisable To Travel With Normal Cold Symptoms?

Hi. I am in day 2 of normal cold symptoms. I have an important trip starting tomorrow. I generally just ride these things out but a friend suggested I get a hormone shot to alleviate the symptoms and ensure I am on point for this trip. I ve never done this. Do you suggest it? If not, any tricks that will help me kick this lethargy?
