Sinus Medication Solution

Just this past week ive gotten a really bad cold. Well in the past 4 days or so {this is really gross sorry} when i blow my nose i see tiny specks of blood in my snot and my ears are plugged up pretty bad. When i took a shower lastnight and was cleaning my ears i found ALOT of blood in my ear wax. Can anyone tell me if this is caused by a sinus infection or is it just a really bad cold??
