Suggest Remedies For Persistent Cold, Sore Throat And Pain In Ears

Hi. I started with a cold 2 weeks ago. It presented firstly with a sore throat. The sore throat ended up migrating to just the left side of my throat. Other symptoms followed and subsided within 5 days except that the left sided sore throat remains. It is now accompanied by pain in my left ear and a dull headache in the left temporal region. General neck pain has presented this evening but not the main issue. What are some possibilities? Should I see a dr.? Or is it just the last of my cold or could it be muscular - post cold strain?
