Hi, thanks for your query. wax is normal secretion of ceruminous glands present in the external ear.
Wax secretion is dependent on every individual.
There is no treatment to prevent wax formation.
Any ear drops containing liquid paraffin and glycerine can be used to soften The wax and consult with the doctor and get it removed. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
