Left ear hearing is muffled

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

I went to my swimming class a few days ago , after coming home...my left year felt a bit muffled ...so I used a dropper to pour two drops of water in it and sit it in for a few seconds and then turned my head sideways to let the water drain away and there was a bunch of ear wax, it smelled and it was dark...what should I do ? My left ear is still muffled.
