Fluid in ear: As long as there is no problem with the eardrum, you can try using a hair dryer held at arm's length pointed at the ear to evaporate the fluid. Or you can try a couple drops of isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) after the peroxide, then air drying. Otherwise, a visit to the ENT doctor may be in order- he/she has the equipment needed for further suctioning without causing harm to the eardrum.

Stop!: You should not put peroxide in your ear. You should not attempt to clean your ear as it only aggravates the ear canal skin making wax worse. Now that you have done it you can go into the shower and try to let the water gently go into your ear and hopefully wash it out, you may get some relief. Unfortunately all you have done may be to make your wax a soft buttery mess. See an ENT if not better.
