Getting tired is possibly a symptom too, especially if your lungs aren't supplying enough oxygen to your bloodstream due to a load of mucus in them. As for the headaches and toothaches that could be a sign of sinus trouble, but it all depends on exactly where the pain is. Sinus problems are often associated with having a bad snotty blocked up nose. As for the earache, I'm not too sure about that but it might also be sinus trouble or something associated with it.
Best to see a doctor though. If you've got a chest infection you'll need antibiotics to clear it up and you can only get them from the doctor.

 Sounds to me like the symptoms of bronchitis. Best go to your doctor for any problem you are not sure of.

I do suggest you consult a doctor before you get more ill; do not ignore the systoms your body is giving you; it is trying to tell you...."hi help, something is wring"
Hope you feel better soon.
Best wishes and lots of SMILES.

Seriously, get it checked out.
