Why There Is Mucus In My Ears?

Hello, I had the flu recently and tried to clear out my ears so I could hear better, this made it worse, filling my ears with mucus. They are still full of liquid and one of my ears had a lot of reddish/dark brown earwax, should I just wait for them to clear out or go see a doctor?

yes , you should go to a doctor as it is likely that your ear drum has been perforated and you will need antibiotics for it , the doctor ca also help you remove the wax from the other ear. please meet him soon and keep the ear dry so that the infection does not worsen,
