Hopefully you keep improving. I just know that with the first cold that held on for 3 weeks, I was riding(in the weather and cold) and subbing and developed laryngitis and the cold held on. This time, I rested for nearly a week(slept most of the time), ate chicken soup, and it seems to have eliminated the issues far faster. Stap, I hope it clears up fast and doesn't hang on like my first cold of the year.
