Unless ear wax is impacted you won't have much symptoms. If you have wax on other side it's better to get it removed before it gets impacted. Usually wax is removed after softening it with use of ear drops. Usually no special precautions are necessary after ear wax removal. Avoid using ear buds

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
