I need a yahoo answers diagnosis?

about 3 weeks ago i started coming on with a bad cough which lasted about 2 and a half weeks, then the cough kind of settled down into a cough one would have ociated with a cold, i also experienced other cold symptoms (weakness, fatigue, aches, head stuffness, headache, sore throat) for about 3-4 days, my sore throat is fairly mild, i've had a lot worse, now my ear all of a sudden got plugged, its been about an hour, and theres minor pain in my ear...i'd believe i got an ear infection but does my past symptoms explain an infection elsewhere that might have spread to my ear? (bronchitis? strep throat?)
