You can use any wax cleaning drops available at local pharmacy. Instill two drops while lying on your side with the affected ear up and maintain this position for 10 min to allow the drops to remain in contact with the wax. Repeat the same in your other ear. Instill drops 3 times daily for 4-5 days. Consult an ENT specialist then who will clean your ears using water. Do not try to self clean using buds as you will push the wax further inside. You may also injure the eardrum.
