That is an "OH SHIT!" moment! Water should never enter an ear with a ruptured ear drum as external germs will contaminate the ear and could further destroy the delicate eardrum!
Next Steps
Please hurry up and meet a good ENT Surgeon in your city who will clean up your ear with microsuctioning and prescribe you silicone earplugs to waterproof your ears while bathing so that such a situation never recurs!
