You can instil wax removal drops but don’t use earbud or don’t try to insert anything. It will come out by drops if not consult ENT surgeon, they will remove wax
Next Steps
Consult ENT SURGEON

Wax is a protective thing. No need to remove it periodically unless its creating hearing or other problems. Using ear buds in children is not recommended. If severe problem arises meet an ENT specialist to remove it medically...
