Ear pain after wax removal by doctor

I just had my ear wax removal done today. Was prescribed ear drops a week back and the wax removal was done manually and wasn't painful at all. However after the wax removal I feel pressure in ear and pain. Is this normal? Doctor has prescribed Calpol and Zoxwax drops and Allrite DC tablet. How long will this persist?
