Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
If your sinuses are truly infected you need antibiotics to kill the infection. The fact that you have a fever says this is more than the sniffles. You need to check in with your doctor or seek a doctors help for a walk-in clinic or hospital emergency room. You will have a much nicer Christmas if you do this today.

sorry to hear you have the sniffles :( what i would suggest is getting a neti pot! Which is pretty much a little cup wiht a tube on the end, and you put it in your nose, and rinse out your sinuses. You can probably find one at your local drugstore, heres some directions on how to use it.
1
Fill the netty pot with lukewarm water. Most netty pots are shaped like a small watering can.
2
Add ΒΌ tbs. of table or sea salt to the water in the netty pot. Salt will help dry out your nasal passages and will help prevent infection.
3
While leaning over a sink, tilt your head to the side and insert the spout of the netty pot into your nostril. Pour the water into the nasal passage so that it flows out the other nostril.
4
Tilt your head to the opposite side and repeat step 3 for the opposite nostril.
5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the salt-water solution is gone.
6
Exhale through your nose and blow out any excess fluid.
Hope i helped!!
Love, Anubis
