Brief Answer:
Zyrtec D could be better option.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This could be due to acute allergic rhinosinusitis, secondarily affecting ear.
I recommend the following.
1) Zyrtec D containing levocetrizine with pseudoephidrine could be better option than montelukast alone.
2) I also recommend analgesic like tablet paracetamol for sore throat.
3) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of warm water.
4) Avoid smoking and refrigerated drinks.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
