Earache after having a cough for weeks

About 5 weeks ago, I developed a sire throat and dry cough, which has only gradually improved and still lingering. I feel I'd a temperature for about 4 weeks on and off also. Took a cough bottle but it didn't do much. As I say, cough is slowing improving but still choking me up/ tickling at times.

The last four days I've developed an ache in my left ear which comes and goes.
I'm normally never sick so I'm just wondering if I'd need an antibiotic at this stage, even though cough is improving?

DH had a cold accompanied by a sore blocked ear. He was advised to get an over the counter product called Ear Calm by a doctor. It seems to have done the trick.
Pharmacy First only deals with ear ache in children not adults.
