Ear drop does take time to penetrate wax/debris inside the ear canal. Have patience, use drop and then visit your consultant for getting the wax removed

Since the patient is having ear blockage, it can be wax and since it’s not clearing even after putting clearwax ear drops it may be impacted. Please consult ENT specialist nearby for microscopic examination to confirm and to clear the wax.

Clear wax is the drug of choice of drug in wax . Sometimes if the wax is very hard than it will take time for the drugs for penetration.
When you put clearwax than wax become swollen and put pressure on TM and with the skin involvement person will have pain and fullness in the ear.
Continue clear wax ear drop and get your mother’s wax removed.
