Wonder what's wrong with my ear

I took a shower Monday and cleaned my ears. The left one was pretty clean but the right one seemed to have a lot of wax. I found that weird as I had cleaned my ears a few days before.
Later that day my right ear felt a little weird and then I noticed fluid coming out of it. I wonder what's going on. Never had this happen before.
I thought it would go away but I still have fluid coming out of my ear. It comes and goes. I wipe it and at some point it comes back again...
I wonder if I should get it checked out. I don't have a physician though. Don't even remember the last time I went to a doctor.

I would have it checked out, before you do serious damage to your ear.

@lovebuglena Glad it seems to be something simple.

@kaylachan Nothing is coming out of my ear anymore but I wonder if I should still see a specialist. I had a few automated voicemails from the place I went to on my phone about a specialist and to call them back.

I had this before but it started to get painful and I was told it was swimmers ear.

At least it's good that you don't go to a doctor too often. I hope there is nothing too much wrong with your ear.

If it persists I may have no choice but to go get it checked out.

Don't mess with your hearing. Find a PCP or ENT doctor and make an appointment.

I went to urgent care and they gave me drops for that ear. I did it 5 times. I got an automated voicemail from the urgent care place about a specialist. I wonder if I need to see one.

@LindaOHio They did not tell me anything. The lady just said I have some discharge after she stuck a long cotton swab into my ear and gave me drops.

@lovebuglena What did urgent care tell you was the problem? Maybe you should see a specialist.

I did a search online and it says go to a physician. They can take car of most of the ear issues. But I don't have one.
