What's the best way to quickly get rid of chest and sinus congestion (mucus) after a cold?
My wedding is in 10 days and I don't want to sound congested! :)
Thanks

Sleep with a vaporizer but make sure it's a clean one, that is, that any filters on it are mold and bacteria free. Take steamy showers. Even boiling water and staying in the kitchen will help loosen the mucus so you can cough it up.
Eat right between now and then. Drink plenty of fluids as that will thin the mucus so it's easier to cough up. Orange juice couldn't hurt, but stay away from any dairy products as they make phlegm.
Congratulations and best of luck!

Hi, when I saw your question it kind of shocked me because I had the same situation when I got married and I couldn't get rid of all the congestion before that day..... it was awefull. I was coughing in the church and because I was trying not to cough I ended up having a cough attac. I don't want that to happen to you too. I'm a medicine student and I can help you. I just need to know a little more about what kind of cough you have and how long have you had it and other questions. let me know when you will be online or if you want to e-mail me it is manuelt1881@hotmail.com or manuelt18812003@yahoo.com I hope you get this msg soon so I can help you get rid of that chest congestion

Try something like Mucinex. It has guifennisen whick makes coughs productive so you can get that mucus out.
