Lidozone is a analgesic ear drops given to reduce the ear pain. It is not useful to soften the wax. You need to use drops such as Otorex to soften the wax so that ENT specialist can remove it easily. Lidozone drops can help to reduce the the pain temporarily
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
