Wax needs to be softened before removal under vision by a specialist. You can use Otorex ear drops three drops three times daily for five days to soften the wax. Then consult nearby ENT specialist who will remove it easily by suctioning or syringing

Next Steps

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