Zinc + C. I use Sootherbs.
Something with camphor, menthol, and/or eucalyptus to inhale to clear sinuses and help cough, if you have one.
A humidifier.
Lots of fluids, preferably water, watered-down fruit juice, hot herbal tea (the steam helps your throat feel better), add honey to coat your throat.
An extra pillow to prop your head up at night... more for comfort than to speed anything up.
Same goes for tissues with lotion.
