Brief Answer: Please follow the suggestions below... Detailed Answer: Hi, You are saying to have hard coughing spells with cold and it is only 2 days. Please bare in mind that usually, it will take up to 10 or more days for the cough or other cold symptoms to get cleared. You are also mentioning that your ear has bleed a little but stopped.
