Hi,
Noted your history well and understood the concerns.
Clear and sticky discharge from ear is indicative of a condition called glue ear or discharge of liquid akin the nasal one.
This occurs due to the nasal dicharge going through the Eustachian tube to the middle ear and coming out of perforated ear drum
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your ENT Surgeon for proper ENT Endoscopy, X-ray for adenoids, sinuses and CT scan to confirm if required.
Long course o an antihistamine, decongestant, anti-inflammatory medications along with antibiotic when needed should help to solve your problems.
If there is anything surgical like sinusitis, enlarged masses in nose or so may need corrective surgery.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
