Hot liquids will create steam and clear some congestion. Go for a hot drink. Try some hot cocoa, tea, or soup/broth. I want to be pediatrician. Thanks for letting me try to help you. Hope you feel better!

(Please pick me for the best answer)

something warm for sure. The chicken soup for a cold is a real helpful remedy. Or hot tea. Or lemonade like she said. The warmth loosens the congestion a little. Best wishes.

some hot tea with lemon and honey in it will break that up
