Is this a wooden horn? Then the suggestion may be applicable; FOLLOW FREE ADVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is routinely handled by qualified repair, so if you're heading to the shop they can handle this.
If (like me) you're too cheap to pay for the cleanup, you could swab with nail polish remover (acetone) to clean out the bore.
When satisfied that the bore is clean, apply a fresh coat of your favorite Bore oil.
I use Almond oil (see Cheap, above) on a dedicated pull swab.
If this is just the result some years playing, I don't see what the big deal is.
If this came on quickly, it seems a little odd.
To summarize;
* Swab, disassemble and properly store the horn in its case after EVERY use.
* Go to the repair tech annually.
* Use a little Nail polish remover (dilute acetone solution) to clean things.
