Sounds like : You are so clogged up which is causing the headache. Popping of your ear is good since it is releasing pressure, so that should ease up your headache somewhat . Cold is making your condition worse so i would advise taking a decongestant histamine and expectorant to give you some relief while you set up an appointment with your doctor.

Yes: The popping sound in your ear may be from the jaw joint. Clenching and grinding your teeth can cause the jaw joint to hurt and cause your muscles to go into a spasm and cause your headache. Sinus infections can actually move your upper back teeth enough to cause all of the above. Try a decongestant first then see your dds.
