It is not advised to clean the ears on your own as it is a small closed cavity. There are chances that u will be pushing the wax inside rather than removing it. Also there is high risk of introducing infection and causing injury.
Next Steps
consult an ENT doctor
Health Tips
do not use ear buds or any other thing to clean the ear.
