I did the salt water gargling thing a couple of days ago... Me being the goof that I am I choked on some, swallowed somme more, and the coughed up a little more.

I really shouldn't do things like that when I;m home by myself.
DH got me some nasal spray to help with congestion and some of the daytime allergy/cold/sinus relief with pain killers in it. They seem to be helping with it. I'm not nearly as miserable today as I was a couple of days ago.
What helps the most though, is the double chocolate chip muffin mix he picked up for me.
