Solution for ear candling incident

I was dumb enough to try ear candling even though studies show it doesn't do what is intended. People swear it helps them and I had been having congested ears. Long story short hot wax from the candle dripped into my ear and now I am in pain. This morning a piece of "candle" wax came out of my ear but I am almost certain there is more in there. My hearing is muffled and when i move my head while sleeping the crackling wakes me up. Any advice or solutions? I have searched all over and can't find anything on what to do when this happens, just stuff saying it could happen.

Just to avoid unnecessary questions, I did follow instructions, ended up having to yank candle out before it reached 3 in mark.

Also shame on the natural holistic websites for insisting that health officials and doctors only are against it because it is a holistic practice. They weren't lying and I deserve a Darwin Award for this after all the research I did and still attempted it.
