Ok, I do pushups every other day, and I have seen major results, but mostly in the lower chest. How can I strengthen the upper chest without the use of a bench press?

Are you doing pushups at an angle also?

If you have steps lean on them and do incline pushups.

If you have a chair, bench, or something else to put your feet on do decline pushups.

Also placement of your hands can help you target the muscle. Close, shoulder, and wide.
