Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain clogged ears, cold and redness in eyes are all appearing due to upper respiratory tract infection, also known as common cold that is a viral infection and redness in eyes seems to be due to irritation caused secondary to infection and inflammation and is commonly seen in cases of severe cold and cough..
Nothing to worry about it as the redness will resolve as the symptoms will subside..

In case if you also experience, eye discharge, pain and swelling along with redness it can be due to viral conjunctivitis and that needs evaluation and treatment by an Ophthalmologist..

If there is only redness with symptoms of cold you need not to worry and start taking symptomatic treatment for cold like taking anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Allegra, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, mucolytics like Ambroxol, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and Tylenol combination..
Take saline nasal irrigations, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
You can sip on plenty of warm water and other fluids like broth and soups..
Take soft and bland diet and sufficient rest..
In case if condition does not improve consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
