See doctor : Sounds like it is time for a doctor visit. Ear infections are complications from colds and often require treatment

Usually transient: Most nosebleeds are transient and self limiting after clot formation. Probably caused by increased nasal pressure with forceful vomiting. Usual supportive measures for nose bleed include leaning forward and applied pinching pressure to nose. If bleeding is recurrent and excessive then should consult your physician.
