    Any drugstore has a vast array of decongestants and anti-histamines.
    Stay warm, drink tons of non-icy liquids (not soda), and gargle with salt water.
    Your ear tube to your throat secretes mucous just like your nose and sinuses do.

    For stuffy nose try non medicinal saline nasal spray, which may help your ear too. No limit on how many times you use saline spray as there are no chemicals

    Your best bet is to ask the pharmacist at your local drugstore.

    Each person is different - sudafed works for me but makes my heart race. That's why there are so many choices, almost too many. Learn how to read the labels and what the main ingredients are. Many dozens are a mixture of just a few, and then branch out into those that make you drowsy and those that keep you awake.
