TAKE AIRBORNE!!! It's the most amazing stuff out there, it gives your immune system a great boost and helps your body fight off any bugs...other than that...for congestion, a great home remedy is to boil a pot of water, once it boils, take it off the stove and hold your head over it to breathe in the steam, it helps more to drape a towel over your head so the steam doesn't escape. Vicks Vapo Rub will be great for the congestion and coughing when you sleep at night. Rub some on your chest, and if your nose is really really stuffy, put a dab of it right between your nose and upper lip. Feel better!

buckleys....it tastes awful but it really works to break up phlem and clear congestion
if not try a hot toddy:
1 shot whiskey
1 cup boiling water
2 tsp honey to sweeten
and a dash of lemon juice
drink as hot as you can stand it then hop into bed with flannel pj's and layer on the blankets you will sweat it out of your system and get a great nights sleep!

If you didn't live so far away, I'd rub some Vicks on your chest for you........JK
Seriously, drink plenty of fluids, get some bed rest and if you have one, try placing a heating pad on your chest!
Get well soon!!!!

Do what I did in college, Dayquil with two Tylonal Day pills for the day, and Nyquil with two Tylonal Night pills for the night.
Only take as directed, don't Overdose or take too much of something if you are weak and you know you can't handle it. :) good luck.
