My right ear seems clogged or something

Woke up this morning (Manila time) feeling like my right ear has an obstruction. I thought “just got compressed while I was sleeping” but it never really went away. I used a Q-tip and didn’t get any, but that said I can hear fluid (?), just some squelching sounds inside. Sometimes I can clear it out either by burping or sneezing but the problem comes back. I definitely think my nose and throat are connected, because I get total clarity back in my right ear if I breath or use my throat in some way. What is happening?
