I usually find ordering in Chinese helps...
Hot and sour soup works *wonders* for congestion.
And since you're ordering, might as well have some house lo mien and some sweet and sour pork and some shrimp in lobster sauce and maybe an order of spare ribs and a couple of egg rolls and some garlic chicken and broccoli (veggies are good for you )
Feel better.
