Please avoid using cotton buds or any other means to clean your ears. Ears don't need to be cleaned as they can clean themselves out and a little bit of wax is actually protective. Also keep your ears dry

Ear bud should not be inserted in the ear canal. It's for external use only. You can use soliwax ear drops. If not relieved then consult ENT surgeon.
