How to soothe ear canal

Kaitlyn
Just now my ear was clogged with wax, and it was bothering me. I took a Bobby pin to it, which I know is a big no no but I was going crazy. I managed to pull out a penny sized glob of wax and my ear feel unclogged. I'm not in pain but I feel like since you're not supposed to use Bobby pins in your ear I irratated it. So, how do I soothe it or make sure it doesn't turn into a problem?
