Inportant Steps: 1. Keep hydrated: you should drink 8 oz of fluid every 1-2 hrs this helps to loosen congestion 2. Rest 3. Use a humidifier: keep it running all night 4. Avoid irritants. Pollution, cigarettes, etc 5. Take cough medicine: only if the cough becomes disruptive to everyday life, because they are cough suppressants. 6. Use an expectorant: example Mucinex (guaifenesin) to dec risk of pneumonia 7. Take a pain reliever.
