Hi I Had The End Of A Cotton Swab Come

Hi I had the end of a cotton swab come off in my ear. We can't see it when looking with a flashlight. My husband called the ER and they said to take a bulb syringe with water and flush it out. Is this a good idea? Everything I've read said to not try to flush it out. But I really don't want to go to the ER for this
