Hi,thank you for posting you query on Health care magic.

Discharge in ears mostly occurs due to infection in the ear.In your case as you are suffering from Stuffed nose and clogged throat,Ear infection might be due to an upper respiratory tract infection.

You might find relief by taking Ear drops(Antibacterial with antifungal),Oral and Nasal Decongestants,Antihistaminic(like Cetrizine) ,Analgesic (like Ibuprofen) with an Antacid(like Rantac).

Do steam inhalation.Avoid water going inside ear.Use of ear plug will help to protect your ear from water.Avoid cold,spicy and oily food.Drink lots of fluids(warm).Do warm saline gargles.

It would be advisable to consult an Otolaryngologist Doctor.

Hope this answers your question.Get well soon.
