Hello ,

Thanks for writing to health care magic , this is Dr Muhammad Ahmad I have read your message and will help you with your health problem.

In this case it is evident that you have a perfiration in your tympanic membrane /ear drum the reason might be trauma or infection.

The medication for this problem are given according to the cause and problem if your have infection you are given antibiotics and antihitamins and medication for congestion.

I would suggest you the following things.

1) Use Alegra-D tablet twice a day.
2) Use citerizine 10mg daily at night.
3) Use Antibiotics if prescribed by your doctor.
4) If medication doesn't help you...you will have to get your tympanic membrane reconstructed surgically and for that you will have to visit your ENT surgeon and discuss about surgery in come case surgery is needed for repair of typanic membrane it can not be done with simple medication.

Don't panic use medication first then you can go for surgical consult.

To control infection you need antibiotics so I would suggest you to visit your doctor to get a checkup and antibiotics prescribed.

Alegra D is taken twice a day after meals..and citerizine 10mg at night after dinner...

but you will need to visit your ENT doctor to get proper antibiotics.Take them for 10 days and see how it helps
