Suggest Treatment For Cold And Nasal Congestion

I am 29 year old male recently quit smoking 2 months ago since then I've been plagued with illness with constant cold symptoms and nasal congestion and I think I've also had a mild right ear infection looking at symptoms which I had no antibiotics for I went to see the doctor in beginning of December as I have been having balance issues and constant popping and crackling on ears mainly the right ear he said I had fluid behind the eardrum in the middle ear ad prescribe me decongestant pills and a nasal spray I took the decongestants for 3 week which only seemed to dry it up as soon as I stopped it got worse again the nasal spray only cleared my nasal cavity not my ears I went back to doctors and I've been referred to a ENT specialist but I have to wait another month to see them any advice on whats causing this or how to ease or cure symptoms would be grately appreciated many thanks
