What Causes Stuffy Nose, Ear Ache, Cold And Left-sided Throat Pain?

I haven t had much sleep this week and this morning I started feeling like I was getting sick. Three hours later, my nose is stuffed, ear ache, pain on the left side of my throat when I swallow, and I m cold. Could this just be a cold or possibly the flu? I am a student on a budget who works with kids. What over the counter medicine could I take?
