For the past week i've had a terribly sore throat, headaches and a cold. is an ear block one of the symptoms?

Could be...: "blocked" or "plugged ears" are quite common with colds and upper respiratory infections. Your eustacian tubes usually drain and ventilate your middle ear. These can get blocked up and swell just like the lining of your nose when you have a cold, and then your ear can feel blocked like when you fly/change altitude. Try chewing gum, "pop" your ears and get lots of fluids and humidity.
