There is a bad cold/sinus virus going around (I just had it, with very sore throat and popping ears & all) that sounds like what you describe. I'd get checked out to make sure it's not lower respiratory infection (bronchitis/lungs) but I bet this is what you have. For myself & people around me it is taking 2-3 weeks before it even starts to clear up but my doc said it was viral and not to take anything but decongestants unless I got additional infection in throat or ears (which did not happen).

Hang in there !
