I just got over a bad cold 3 weeks ago. It was so bad that it gave me bronchitis that I had to get an inhaled steriod to alleviate.
My mother suggeted I drink so chamomile tea for the tension part of my headache (she loves homeopathic remedies) and so I tried it. Ended up feeling relief from my cough at the time and so made myself another cup. As long as I was drinking the chamomile tea it helped my cough and sore throat feel better. My chest didn't feel as tight and heavy. It may have just been the warmth and steam or the tea part itself but I was surprised by the relief I felt. Eat some chicken soup too. I read a study where the steam alone from homemade chicken soup helped to alleviate some of the symptoms of a head cold. If you need I can look it up. At least these aren't medication and more mild remedies. Otherwise - when I slept at night I just took plain old Nyquil. It gave me enough relief from the coughing and runny nose that I could get the much needed sleep.
