Right ear blockage
I have a history of earwax buildup. Recently, I had wax blockage in my left ear and used Clearwax ear drops. I have removed wax using ear buds and it came out and my hearing became normal.
Today, I felt irritation in my right ear and used an ear bud. Some wax came out, but I think the rest got pushed deeper. My hearing in the right ear is now reduced to around 30%.
I started using Clearwax drops again. There is no severe pain, dizziness, discharge, or fever. Should I continue the drops for a few more days, or do I need ENT wax removal? Is this anything serious??

Please visit ENT doctor soon. If the wax was too hard and pushed near your ear drum it will cause a lot of pain
Moreover it is advisable to go to ent for removing wax rather than cleaning it using earbuds
