Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My boyfriend has been taking an antibiotic for 6 days for an ear infection and his ear drum ruptured. He still can t hear out of his ear and there is a constant ringing. Also he has jaw pain. Is there anything that he could do to stop the pain and ringing.
this could be treated with selective antibiotic and ibubrufen as analgesic and avoid ear drops ..it will take awhile time if small perforation of tympanic membrane
detailed answer
this tinnitus and pain caused by tympanic rupture is common symptoms of this rupture and no worry of that..tympanic membrane perforation is a complication of infection of ear was not treated effective...so he should take effective antibiotic injections like amoxicillin or cefoperazone and avoid ear drops....if tympanic membrane perforation small will improve by time and heal ....should take ibubrufen as analgesic and antiinflammatory to relief of pain and follow up with ENT
hope that helps
