Sounds like a possible infection or inflammation, pls read below

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Feeling a little run down and ear aches together can point towards either of the conditions:

1. A sinus infection
2. Upper respiratory tract infection
3. Sinusitis (just inflammation of the sinus)
4. Ear infection

Either way, you may require some medical assistance. But it seems like your symptoms are just beginning; hopefully it is just a response to cold weather (if it is cold there), but if not then you may require some medical assistance.

Although each of the above mentioned conditions can have a different approach, I would only recommend some anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory to help with the pain and probably even help with the mild low feeling (e.g. tylenol, ibuprofen, etc.) as well.

If at all you develop anymore symptoms, or for some reason cannot visit a doctor or medical centre, let me know and I shall try and help as much as possible sir.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
