Menthol vapor (vicks, tiger balm etc.) and hot bean bag to liquify prior to clearing out attempts (ie: nasal rinse) helps a ton.
They also help a ton for comfort at night. I also wear a neck warmer and I find I'm slightly less congested in the morning.
I also typically try to take as little medication as possible to get the body to fight it off properly, but for the last few weeks, I'm taking stuff so that I can sleep better at night so that the rest contributes to fighting off the illness faster.
This #### sucks. "Better" but with lingering side effects blows. Being "better/healthy enough" but still with a lingering cough that is serious enough to strain random muscles in the body is brutal.
