What Causes Water To Come Out Of Ear?

my daughter has complained of water in her ear for 2 days on and off. I looked in her ear tonight with a flash light and I think there is cotton from a q tip in there. She will not tell me if she used a qtio, because of course she knows not to. Any way to get it out without going to the er tonight?

Hi,
Watering from ear might be due to cotton bud in ear.
If cotton bud is not much deep inside, you can try to remove with forcep.
If it is not reachable then do not try to remove cotton.
You can go to Er and get it removed.
After removal put some antibiotic ear drops for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
