The : The recommended tratment with ear drops was appropriate. If the ear canal was lacerated i would recommend an antibiotic-based drop such as Cortisporin (neomycin polymyxin and hydrocortisone) Otic Suspension as prophylaxis against external otitis for 5-7 days. The hearing blockage could be from a number of things that include residual earwax, congealed blood in the ear canal, swelling of the ear canal, etc. You would have to go back to a doctor to determine which of these is going on and for a prescription for the eardrop.

Removal : Removal of wax from the ear canal can be traumatic. The skin is very thin and fragile. The symptoms you describe will likely go away soon, but i would not hesitate to go back soon if they do not. The ear drops will likely prevent any infection in the canal as well as keep the blood from forming a hard plug in the ear. With persistent pain, blood, or heaing loss, you may need to go to an otolaryngologist/ent.
