How To Treat Nasal Congestion, Cough And Sore Throat?

My husband has a bad cold with lots of mucus. It's green and he is blowing his nose constantly and coughing the stuff up. He has a sore throat, but no fever or body aches. He coughs to the point of throwing up and can't sleep because of all of the mucus. Could this be worse then a cold? Any suggestions for treating him at home?
