Have you tried steam vapours? I always finds it helps to loosen things. A few drops of olbas or karvol in the bowl make it even more effective. I was told to sleep sitting upright a bit but it isnt always possible.

Hope you manage to shift it soon

Ive had it since xmas morning, everything has more or less gone apart from this damn cough...........
the doctors reckon its gonna take 3 weeks to shift it, so I was told by mil

lemsip/decongestants? i'm at the same stage as you and vary between a lemsip tablet and cough medicine.
