If you have heavy earwax buildup with reduced hearing and the drops like Clearwax Ear Drops feel stuck, it usually means the wax has absorbed the drops, swelled, and is blocking the ear more, so do not use cotton buds or insert anything into the ear again as this can worsen injury; you can continue the drops for 2?3 days as directed and keep your head tilted to help the wax soften and come out naturally, but since you also suspect a minor injury and your hearing is affected, it is safest to visit an ENT doctor who can remove the wax gently using suction or instruments, and avoid self-cleaning until then.

It sounds like water may have entered your ear during the bath and, along with ear wax, caused a blockage; using ear drops like Clearwax Ear Drops can help soften wax, but avoid using cotton sticks as they often push wax deeper and worsen the blockage.

For a ten-year-old, it is highly recommended to consult a pediatrician before using Clearwax ear drops (which contain paradichlorobenzene, benzocaine, chlorobutol, and turpentine oil), as children's ear canals are very sensitive. If your doctor approves, typically you tilt your child's head to the side, gently instill 2 to 3 drops into the ear canal, and keep their head tilted for about 5 minutes. Gently wipe away any excess liquid that runs out. Never insert cotton swabs into the ear. If they experience pain, itching, or irritation, please stop use immediately and see a doctor.

See an ENT doctor as soon as possible so they can safely remove the wax and check for infection or other causes,
