I have a cold and now ear ache. it's it likely to be an infection?

Could be but...: more likely a blocked eustacian tube in the neck. This tube is designed to eqalize pressure in the middle ear. When blocked it will produce an earache. Try using decongestants. If it is not relieved see your PCP of evaluation.
