Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

White ear wax implies that an infection is present. Infections of the ear can be fungal or bacterial.

The doctor may take a swab of the wax to determine the exact cause of the infection so that it can be treated.

I hope this helps.
