Hi, thanks for the query.

Don't remove cotton bud at home consult your ENT doctor.you can wait till morning not that much emergency. Don't allow water to go inside & avoid using ear bud in future. There is no need to clean ear , ear bud cleaning cause wax to go more inside in ear canal.

Hope this information helpful to you, take care and have a nice day.
