hello, thanks for your query, hard wax removed by syringing after using wax solvents. self removal can injure d walls of external canal and tympanic membrane. I feel , u need to be evaluated by an ent surgeon as ur ear got infected. u can take painkillers for pain and do not put water per ear during bath n face wash. all d best. take care.
