He did mention that there was also a hole in the eardrum. Does that need surgery and how complicated is it. Also can it be finished within 10 days including followup inspection.
Brief Answer:
yes a hole needs surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Yes, a hole in the ear drum needs surgery. If the hole is small, then the surgery can be done fast and a follow up can be done in 10 days. However if the hole is large then a longer follow up for 3 to 6 weeks is required. Please discuss this with your doctor.
Thanks

Can the Hole be treated after a year or so as I dont have enough time now.
Brief Answer:
yes it can be treated later
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Yes it can be treated later, but please remember that there is chance for the infection to keep recurring because of the hole and can lead to some hearing loss.
You will need rest for 2-3 weeks , so you should plan accordingly!
Take care!
