you have to clean the ears of the child only externally with cotton cloth. 
do not use anything like earbuds to clean the internal ear.

if the child is having wax problem and not improving with drops you have to get it removed with the help of your ent doctor.

Answer

The best way to remove earwax is by using a soft washcloth dipped in warm water. First, dip the washcloth in warm water and squeeze it out to get rid of excess water. Then use it to wipe around the outer area of the baby’s ear to gradually clean any earwax that’s trickled outside. Most of the wax will fall out on its own. The remaining can be wiped off. Do not push the washcloth inside the ear canal. Take your baby to your paediatrician and let him take a look at his ears. Your paediatrician might scrape out the wax inside the ear using a tiny tool.
