Wax or Cerumen is a normal product of the ear canal. It has got antiseptic, moisturizing and lubrication properties which is necessary for natural defense of the ear canal. My advise is to avoid using ear buds to remove normal wax

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
