Any tips for getting over a chest cold faster?

Sunday afternoon it started in my throat, then moved into my nose by Monday morning. I thought I had it beat Thursday but then it moved--painfully--into my chest last night. I had to miss a meeting this morning for the coughing.

Any sure-fire tips on beating one of these so I can get back to my life sooner?

Stay away from dairy. Hot shower on the chest first thing in the morning will bring a lot of gunk up, too.
