You need to get him to the vet for an exam. You cannot get him vaccinated if he has an upper respiratory infection and an ear infection. Those have to be taken care of first. I don't recommend using Mullien Tea in your cat's ear. Your best option is to try to Google low cost vet clinics in your area. You can also try your local humane society - they often have low cost vet clinics attached to them.
