Likely a cold: Those with shortness of breath or difficulty breathing in in the subgroup where covid-19 testing is needed. Those if positive would need hospital care. Minor symptoms like those listed could be covid in some, but going for a test may be risky & take up resources needed for others. Contact your doc if problems persist or worsen.

Unclear: I would follow up with your doctor especially if earache persists or sore throat. You may need antibiotics.
