Ear Infection?

Hi so 2 weeks ago I was using cotton buds to get wax out my ear. I now have less hearing in my ear. I went to have a bath to see if warm water would help, but now the water has got in my ear and now I’m hearing a ringing sound in my right ear. I’ve tried ear drops yet nothing is happening. My dad reckons I have an ear infection? Do you think I have?

    A ear infection comes with pain and even a low grade fever.

    You may have pushed wax back into your ear canal and water is now trapped behind it.

    Use warm water and flush it until the wax runs out.

    If it does turn int a ear infection, a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide will cure it
