Well there is no cure for a cold but you can get more comfortable. Tea with honey works just as well as prescription free cough medicine but if the coughing is really serious you might need something stronger. Talk to your doctor about it. Nasal drops that are saline only are fine to use and you can also get the one you rinse the nose with. Steam can temporarily relieve congestion so take a warm shower and hang out for a while afterward in the steamy bathroom. Or moisten a washcloth with hot water, hold it up to your face, and breathe.

Oh and a home remedy we swear by in my family! Yellow (not white) Vaseline (petrol based I think it is), put it in and around your nose before going to bed (and wear all day) and when you wake up the nose will be clear(er) and easier to blow.

And as always; if you need actual medication you have to speak to your doctor.
