You seem to be suffering from impacted wax inside your ear canal. Drops are used to soften the wax so that ENT specialist can remove it easily. There are no drops which can dissolve the wax. So you need to consult specialist for more help
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
