Brief Answer:
Debris and Murine eardrops

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.

Many ear drops solutions contain hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide helps the wax bubble up and results in the wax becoming softer. Debrox and Murine are two common eardrop brands that contain hydrogen peroxide and can be used to remove the ear wax.

You can follow the following steps:

First, Lie down on your side. One ear should face up. Then, administer a few drops into your ear canal to fill it with fluid. After that, you should Keep still for 5 minutes. Sit up after 5 minutes, and blot the outer ear with a tissue to absorb any liquid that comes out. Repeat this process for your other ear.

I hope I answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
