Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the initial features of cold,runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat and bumps in throat are all symptoms of UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION also known as COMMON COLD which is a viral infection and it can be treated with decongestants like Sudafed, anti allergics like Allegra m, throat lozenges, steam inhalations, using cool mist humidifier, cough expectorant etc..
It does not last for a very long time and subsides commonly in approximately a week..

As you still have bumps in throat, cough and sore throat it can be due to allergy to the mold or mold infection..
This can lead to irritation of the throat and cause trigger to coughing..
You need to consult an ENT expert and get evaluated and in case it is mold the first thing is to eliminate the mold completely from your workplace by hiring professionals who clean mold..
For cough you can take Cough syrups like Benadryl or Glycodin..
Take anti-histamine like Allegra 6O mg twice a day..
Throat lozenges will soothe the throat..
Warm saline gargles will help..
Tea with honey can help..
In case if you have congestion decongestant nasal sprays will relieve..

Hope this information helps..
