you can also inhale the steam from hot water (use a towle over the bowl and you head), be careful not to burn yourself like me OH).

It will loosn any phlegm and help you cough it up.

I use Vick's Vaporub on my chest and they also make a bath soak which I found really helpful when I had a bad cold a couple of weeks ago. I assume it's safe to use although I haven't asked the pharmasist...

Vicks vapour-rub & hot water with lemon juice & honey for your throat.

I think Olbas oil is okay to use - put some in a bowl of hot water & inhale. Maybe eucalyptus oil as well - but only in a burner or hot water, don't apply as a massage oil. Apparently tea tree is helpful as well, but check out anything like this first with someone who knows what they are talking about.
