Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Congestion in nose can be due to sinus infection known as sinusitis and ear ache and fullness can be due to infection in ear and accumulation of fluid behind the ear drum.
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Otoscopy and PNS View of x ray can help in diagnosis..
In case of infection antibiotics , anti-inflammatory painkillers, decongestants like Phenylephrine [oral as well as nasal], saline nasal irrigations, steam inhalations and steroid nasal sprays can help..

Hope this helps.

Regards.
