You seem to be having impacted wax inside your ear canal. Water can swell up the wax and make the block worse. You need to use drops atleast for five days and then visit nearby ENT specialist so that he can remove it safely
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
