No cold, just the earache, and possibly the start of a sinus infection. I have chronic rhinitis, and the dry air from heating the house doesn't help!
Might try some vinegar. Hadn't thought about trying that one.
That's why I haven't turned the heat on yet. May not do it all. I broke down and bought a new little space heater, when we had the pending ice storm last week - but I'm so scared if it, I only ran it for a few minutes, lol.
I was scared of my old ones, which is why I bought a new one. This is just a little glorified hair dryer, called a "heat fan" which is better than the others - but you still should open a window when running it. And it doesn't say that *anywhere* on the box, which shocked me.
So, if I open a window to let the carbon monoxide out, it's colder than it was before I turned the heater on, lol. I gave up. I've had CO poisoning from a central heating unit before and lived to tell about it. Never again!

"Winter has a joy for me,
While the Saviour's charms I read,
Lowly, meek, from blemish free,
In the snowdrop's pensive head.
Spring returns, and brings along
Life-invigorating suns:
Hark! the turtle's plaintive song
Seems to speak His dying groans!
Summer has a thousand charms,
All expressive of His worth;
'Tis His sun that lights and warms,
His the air the cools the earth.
What! has autumn left to say
Nothing of a Saviour's grace?
Yes, the beams of milder day
Tell me of his smiling face.
Light appears with early dawn,
While the sun makes haste to rise;
See His bleeding beauties drawn
On the blushes of the skies.
Evening with a silent pace,
Slowly moving in the west,
Shews an emblem of His grace,
Points to an eternal rest." **William Cowper**
