I know how you feel, I am off school with the same as you and it sucks.
Instead of using a medicated product, try something more natural like honey and lemon. Seriously, it soothes your throat and the vitamin C is good for you. Simply take a lemon and squeeze the juice out of it, boil up some water, add the lemon and then stir in about 2 tablespoons of honey. If it is too sour add a little sugar to sweeten. Take small sips for best results, don't just drink it all down instantly.
As for your blocked nose, try using a product like Vicks VapoRub which clears it or chew some airwaves gum for a while, it helps. It also helps if you blow your nose as much as you can.
Also, suck lozenges or throat sweets to help ease your throat and drink plenty of water. Avoid scratchy foods and stick to things like soups until you are feeling better.
If you continue to feel unwell, then I'd go to the doctor and get something perscribed.
Good luck and I hope you get better soon.
I really do think I should be a doctor.

Open your mouth and look in the mirror. If there are two big lumps coming out of the sides of your throat, or if the back of your throat and the thing that hangs down looks extra shiny, or if there are white spots, you have an infection.
If you have an infection, your best bet is to go to the doctors. They will be able to tell you if it's a virus or a bacterial infection. Bacterial infections are cured with antibiotics. It is common for infections to spread between the ears, sinuses, and throat.
If you cannot get to a doctor, fresh garlic is your friend. Dried garlic doesn't work. Garlic is a known antibiotic and will help your body fight off bacterial infections. Fire soup can be made by adding as much (fresh) garlic, rosemary, ginger, and hot pepper as you can stand to any clear soup. I use chicken noodle or lentil usually, but the type really doesn't matter (as long as it's not a cream soup like clam chowder). You won't taste the soup.
If you have a lot of phlegm or mucus, limit your dairy intake.
Be very very careful with q-tips in your ears. If you think there might be an infection (or a wax build up) in your outer ear, you can dip the q-tip in hydrogen peroxide. Be very very careful not to put the q-tip in too far. If it hurts, you've already put it too far in. You can also drip the peroxide into your ear. I know people who claim that they hear the fizzing for a long time, but it always stops for me after a few min.
If your looking for immediate relief for your throat, there are numbing sprays available. Drinking tea with lots of honey will coat the throat and keep it from being irritated by gunk dripping from your sinuses.
I hope some of this helps and that you feel better soon. :)

Buckleys does work good. Even though it taste totally gross, it will help you. You can also get drops for sore ears. You can probably get them at a drugstore. I'd still go see a doctor if I were you though. You could have a throat infection along with an ear infection. I'm sure he/she will give you the right medicine needed.

try some kind of cold medicine that you can take over the counter, you might just have an ear infection because of your ear being sore and kinda itchy, what i do is get a heating pad and sleep with that on my pillow and it gets rid of them, lol idk how tho! just get some rest, it usually helps with medicine. xox

Try Theram-Flu, it tastes like shit, though.

Tylenol cold reliever. Or peptobismal. I would go into the dr. and get that checked he can give you more stronger medicine and ive never heard of buckleys so i wouldnt bother with that-trix

g0 c a doctor .. they will give yu medicine cuz yu might have an ear infection or a really bad soar throat ! x0

a sore throat and ears usually means an ear or throat infection. The only thing that can cure those are antibiotics, so get to the doctor!
For the mean time try a decongestant to unclog your ears and nose.
