A certain amount of wax has many benefits.
The word "cleaning" implies dirt, which is incorrect.
Next Steps
See an ENT specialist to assess & do what is correct for the situation.
Health Tips
Never use earbuds or any other methods on presumption.

Cleaning of ears in children is not really necessary especially buds can be very dangerous too. Unless there is impacted wax there is no need for any ear drops. Minimal amount of wax is considered normal
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
