Am I sick or just allergies?

I have a sore
throat, headache, stuffy nose, cough(which I think is due to the sore throat)
and an ear ache. I took two doses of benedryl today, and it didn't help at all.
I took some tylenol cool burst as well, and that didn't help either. Am I sick?
or is it just allergies? If I am sick, what should I do? Stay home tomorrow and
go to the doctors? Or deal with it?

THANKS!
Ahh the good ol' cold! Its not really something to worry about as its a common
condition! Stay at home, rest in bed, try not to eat much and relax!
About the medicene, keep using it and also take orange jucie as its a great
natural medicene!
Get well soon

Sounds to me like you might have more than allergies. The Benadryl would have
helped if it was only allergies. Do you have allergies regularly? Does the
Benadryl help any other time. How long have you have these symptoms? Are they
worsening or remaining the same? I would base my decision on going to a doctor
on that. Also are you hungry at all, are you sleepy? The sleepiness could be
from the Benadryl but are you achy? That is usually not allergies. Based on your
answers you can make the right decision. I personally would go see a doctor if
by tomorrow it did not improve.
The earache along with the other symptoms makes me suspect sinusitis, especially
if the headache is mostly in the area of your face. Sinusitis can be caused by a
number of things. Doctor tomorrow, to determine if prescription treatment is
necessary.
If you have allergies every year and have similar symptoms, then I would say
yes, it is allergies.

Sounds to me like you just have an icky cold. In my mind, it is always best to
go see a doctor. Maybe he can give you some prescription cough meds and
antibiotics to clear things up quicker.
You need antibiotic so, pls. see your doc. Also drink plenty of fluids.
you seem sick, but maybe your useing a old benedryll. but i'd just deal. drink
orange juice!
