Just my $.02
Not sure where you work but it must suck. You can always argue the "medical standards" of part 67 and argue that you are unfit to act as a required crew member. Go get a friggin doctor's note if you have to. There is no excuse to fly when you are oozing mucus all over yourself and the guy next to you. Assuming you have a union, they will go to bat for you every time.
