Hi,
Your symptoms are suggestive of an upper respiratory tract infection. Antibiotics and anti-histamines should be taken to reduce the infection. Steam inhalation and salt water gargling should be done to reduce congestion and sore throat. Any excess ear wax should be removed. Antibiotic ear drops should be used twice or thrice a day to reduce ear congestion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
