What Can I Do For A Stucked Cotton Pad In The Ear?

I got a small bit of cotton pad stuck in my ear, I dont have the possibillity to visit a doctor in the next two days, should I try to get it out with water, so that i pour a bit of water into my ear and then lie on my side to let it out, would this work?
