Sudafed - the good stuff you have to get at the Pharmacy counter (in Idaho, you have to show your drivers license but I'm not sure what the requirements are for each state) and not the PE stuff that is crap. It'll wire you so don't take it before bed.
Heat - a warm shower, a mug of something warm, a steam bath
A Neti Pot (or a Neli Med which is another brand) - it sounds gross but I love mine and it helps! It works along the lines of osmosis and helps get rid of the gross stuff that gets into your sinus cavity. Follow the instructions and it's no worse than putting your head under the water of a bath or swimming pool.
Chewing Trident: another one that sounds weird but there's something in the Xylitol that keeps germs in your throat and other places from being able to feed so they die. Weird but a nice way to fight germs!
That's all I can think of at the moment. Vitamin D will help but it won't CURE you, it'll just prevent you from getting sick next time.
