You can use the wax solvents available over the counter. The solution can be used 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days at a stretch. Most of the times, the ear wax would soften and clear out by itself. If not, consult your doctor for a complete evaluation and further management.
Henceforth avoid using the Q-tips.
Hope this answers your query. Revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
