Wahine,
Have you tried filling your bathroom with steam and sitting in there for a short period of time? The warm, moist air should help to open the air ways.
I recently saw a new PA for a sinus infection I was battling. She recommended Snuffle - a nasal spray which contains, saline, sodium bicarbonate, spearmint oil, alum, menthol, eucalyplto, cinammon, etc. It kept my sinuses open and seemed to quickly reduce the inflammation.

those are both good suggestions. I like the idea of the Snuffle - first of all I like eucalyptus and cinamon. Secondly - the name reminds me of Seasame Street.

I generally only resort to a heating pad across my face when I have a really bad sinus infection, but moist heat does open it up.
Be careful of using too much pressure to irrigate when you have an infection. I've given myself pinkeye that way (drove the infection into my eyes via the sinuses) and I've read that you can give yourself an ear infection, too.
