Left ear wax and deafness

2018-07-29 15:06:30
I'm having earwax in my left ear, I used scissor to remove it as I thought it was near, but I pushed it inside, and the next day at night it was paining so I put ear drops (clear wax), and now I'm not able to hear and also It is paining, what should I do, I started to put ear drop from Saturday night, should I consult a doctor, or wait for 5 days to soften the wax, but the problem is I'm feeling deaf from left ear and it is paining
