Hello
Well , ideally you should not be flying with a ruptured membrane and there is a risk of you loosing your hearing , please try to avoid flying till you get yourself checked by your ent doctor and he permits you to fly.You can take tab tylenol for the pain as the antibiotics will not reduce the pain.
