Is it important to get ears cleaned (earwax) regularly. This is the second time I got this ear pain and I spoke to someone, he said you have wax that's why it's paining. Last time about 3 to 4 years ago when I went to a doctor he removed wax from my ear and after that I was alright. Now again it seems to be the same problem. So coming to my question, is earwax a common problem? Do people regularly visit doctor for the same?

Yes, it's a common problem. I regularly deal major part of OPD patients with wax problem. Generally impacted and hard wax. It can prevented with ear drop and regular self cleaning and not allowing it to be hard. So, it's not unusual and many people suffers from it.
