My ENT does not recommend neither water flushing nor Q-tips. I block my ears from swimming pool or any swimming water with custom ear plugs perfectly fit to my shell(paid just $39 cash to audiologist for fitting and manufacturing) during my periodical aquatic training and do same during showers. He recommends to keep ears as dry as possible so that wax built-up will peel off on its own. Less moisture in your ears will speed up wax fall off.
There are vacuum cleaners for ears, but should be used with caution not to damage your ear drums.
Fluid build-up is definite call to go back to your ENT specialist again.
