How Can Chest Congestion And Headache Be Treated While Suffering From An Upper Respiratory Tract Infection?

I had a cough associated with allergies, and upper respiratory infection diagnosed two weeks ago. I have had a shot in my hip a week ago (not sure of the name) but am still coughing and headachy - no fever. Still feel some congestion in my chest. Now I have a headache in the front, top and back of my head. Feeling in my head is almost like my blood pressure is up, although I do not have high blood pressure. I take Jentaduet for Type 2 Diabetes, levothyroxine for my thyroid, Fenofibrate and Ros...(statin for cholesterol and high triglycerides (300). Also OTC D3 for diagnosed deficiency. Also RX fish oil - but only one today.
