When I use zicam, the symptoms decrease as does the duration of the cold.

Some brands to try are Mucinex and Sudafed. In most states, the Sudafed is behind the pharmacy counter, so you will have to go and ask a pharmacist for it. I use the 12 hour formula, but if you are not used to taking it, it could make you shaky and "wired" so you may need to take a smaller dose. The pharmacist should be able to help you. I take the Sudafed and Mucinex together every 12 hours until I no longer feel the drainage or congestion, usually about 5 days. You may also benefit from plain old saline nasal spray to help loosen the phlegm, and even placing your face over a steaming bowl of water will help loosen it up also. Spray the saline spray in both nostrils, then blow your nose. If you don't feel better after 5 days, you may need antibiotics from a doctor. Take note if you have headaches not relieved by Tylenol or Ibuprofen, this is a sign of infection. Hope this helps!!
