Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can use the following wax solvent ear drops to soften the ear wax:
Dewax ear drops or Soliwax ear drops.
Instill the drops in the ear, 3 drops three times a day for 7-10 days.
By using this drops, the ear wax will get softened and mostly get removed on its own by chewing movement .
But in some cases, the wax does not remove on its own. In that case, you need to consult an ENT specialist doctor personally for cleaning the ear.
Also don't try to clean the ear wax by yourself as it may push the wax further inside the ear.
Hope this answers your question. Take care.
