Ear Wax removal: You may wish to try an ear wax removal kit, available at local pharmacies. Adding the ear drops should have softened the wax and it may come out with the kit. If that does not resolve the issue, it would be prudent to see your doctor again and if needed, request a referral to an ENT doctor.
Wish you good health!
