Clearwax drops is a wax softener and after applying drops you need to consult nearby ENT specialist for removal of wax under vision by syringing or suctioning. Self cleaning sometimes can cause injuries to your skin
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
