There is a tube that travels from the ear to the back of the throat (auditory/eustachian tube). When our ears "pop" that is this tube opening and releasing pressure from the ear (e.g. on an aeroplane).
When we have a cold the linings of the inside of our nose & throat become inflammed (it is this that causes us to have a "blocked nose"). This inflammation can continue into the auditory tube causing difficulties in the release of pressure in the ears (the inflammed linings narrow the tube). The subsequent build up of pressure in the ears causes ear ache.

Can the cold weather cause your ear to ache?
Congestion from a cold can cause the eustachian tubes to swell shut. They are connected to the throat, and allow the pressure to equalize between your inner ear and the atmosphere. If this cannot occur, it can cause earaches. In addition, there can be an infection in the tubes or inner ear that can cause pain. If it does not clear up in a day or so, or if it gets worse, your doctor can treat it. In the meantime, gargling and drinking warm liquids, and perhaps warm compresses on the ear, may help. Aspirin (or acetaminophen for children) may help relieve the pain.
