It's unlikely for wax to melt and come outside. You may be suffering from chronic otitis media which is a common type of acute Middle ear infection. Confirmation of diagnosis is necessary before planning any treatment
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
