Possibly: A viral upper respiratory tract infection causes these symptoms and usually runs its course in a week. If symptoms persist longer, a bacterial sinus infection may be present requiring a 10-14 day course of antibiotics like augmentin or levaquin,for example. To unblock ears, irrigate your nasal passages with warm salt water and instill nasal decongestion spray like afrin or take sudafed by mouth.
