Then again use the compressed air to move that water out. You dont have to get all the water out, just most of it & the rest will dry it's self. I use this method myself & drain plugs MUST be clear!
I would not suggest blowing compressed air and water up the drain holes, who knows where the water will splash. It will only blow the debris away from the hole and it may stay away from the hole for a while and then return to plug the holes again.
The debris may be too big to come out of those small holes anyway.
The only way to clear them properly is to remove the door liner and clean it out and inspect for rust, but it's your car so it is up to you.
