You are correct to not want to use a Q-tip or your finger to try to remove ear wax build up other than on the outside parts of your ear. If you put things inside your ear, you can compact the wax and make it even harder to remove or push it against your ear drum which can cause damage to hearing. Q-tips can leave fibers in your ear that will make the wax also harder to remove. To properly remove wax build up from inside your ear, there are drops that you can put in your ear that help to soften and allow the wax to be irrigated to be removed. These kits are available at pharmacies, follow the directions on the package very carefully. If use of these does not remedy the problem, you may need to see a doctor for a professional ear irrigation.
Do not "over clean" your ear canals. The wax is there for a purpose, and if you remove the normal amounts too frequently, you can leave yourself prone to ear infections. If the wax is not compacted and needing drops to clean it from your ears, clean only your external ears and let your body do the rest in its normal processes that keep your ears healthy.

Can there be a connection between a sinus infection and an infected ear piercing?
Yes, there can be a connection. If you have a bacterial infection in your sinuses, then you are probably blowing your nose/ touching your nose a lot. Since the ear piercing is new you are probably touching it a lot/ rotating it a lot. Bacteria may have been transferred from your nose/ sinus via your finger to your ear. Just put hibiclens, or some other antiseptic on your ear a few times a day.
