Brief Answer:
Use benzocaine ear drop and watch for symptoms...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, for burning sensation you can apply ear drop containing benzocaine locally.

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic which may helps to relieve pain.

Along with that kindly watch for the symptoms fever, earache, ear discharge than you may require ENT consultation for detailed clinical examination.

Second thing, there is no need to use warm water to remove ear wax.

Instead of that, you can use ear drop containing paradichlorobenzene (clearwax) which is equally effective.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
