I have problem of ear wax in left ear due to which I can hear 50% less from that ear.
Is it okay to wait for 15-20 days before going to doctor until covid cases come down? Can it cause any complications?

It is ok, do not try to self clean the wax or use any wax clearing drops, they have a tendency to expand the wax in the ear canal and might cause you pain.
Health Tips
If there is intermittent pain you can try hot fine ration from outside or take simple paracetamol for the pain
