The symptoms that i have now is ear pressure, cough, bad breath, and sore throat. what exactly is this and how come i'm not getting better?

Can't make diagnosis: with this info. Sounds like an upper respiratory infection that could be viral or bacterial. Don't know how long you have had it. If you have been sick for a while and it is not improving - would encourage medical evaluation. Take care.

URI symptoms: Without an examination your symptoms indicate bacterial or more probably viral upper respiratory infection. See your Physician or Urgent Care to differentiate then provide you with appropriate treatment.
