Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which can help reduce headaches.

But in general, yes, herbal tea is better for clearing sinuses.

Drastic changes in temperature do that.

Also, the cold will give you a runny nose, which will build up in your sinuses, giving you a sinus infection.

First, stay hydrated. Second, drink some warm coffee and breathe in the steam. Third, take a hot shower or bath and keep the water on your face for a little while.

If all that doesn't work, put a hot towel on your forehead and upper cheeks, and keep switching it out when it loses heat.

When you have a runny nose, blow your nose. Clear yourself out. And if you have a lot of work to do, take pseudoephedrine 12hr once a day for no longer than four days in a row.

Windshield glass. Has a layer of plastic sandwiched inside that prevents the glass from shattering.

Even in schools, they use reinforced glass on metal doors to make sure a school shooter can't open a door by smashing the window. It's metal wire inside the glass.

Also, many new windows and doors are tempered glass, which is tough and resistant to chips or cracks, but if you apply enough force, it completely shatters. This is the glass that makes your side windows in your car. I imagine the capitol didn't use this, but the prevalence of tempered glass is giving young people a false impression of how glass normally breaks.
