Ear bud will push the wax further inside and cause pain sometimes.. Avoid doing that.. Ear has a natural mechanism to clean itself.. You can facilitate it by using ear drops for wax. 3-4 drops 3-4 times a day for a week.. It will dissolve and come out.. Avoid using wax drops if there is any history of pain or ear discharge.. Please consult in person for any doubts
