If you have a fever and an earache, you may have an ear infection and if so, you need antibiotics. Check with a doctor. Otherwise, I always give my kids Dimetapp and Tylenol. Make sure to get enough fluids and sleep. Feel better!

Tylenol - No more than prescribed
Hot Showers to open up your sinus
Mentholated drops
Plenty of water -we tend to dehydrate when we're sick so force a glass of juice or water on yourself every hour or so. That's about all one can do. You can take cold preparations - but this won't speed up recovery.
Funny- thirty years ago I was sure we would have had the cure of the common cold - wrong!
Good luck.

I have no idea, but some advice...I always go and ask the pharmacist because in the past the stuff they suggest works.
