ELI5: Why, when you're congested, does putting pressure on your nose/forehead help alleviate the pain temporarily?

There are holes in your skull (Sinus) that have boogers when you're congested. Rocking around those bones to open your sinuses helps lessen the pressure and opens 'em up.

Bonus tip: Press down on either side of your nose, a bit under your eye socket. While doing that, inhale from your nose. It'll help drain that sinus and make a gnarly loogie.
