WELCOME TO HCM.
TRAUMATIC PERFORATION IN EAR DRUM HEALS IN ALMOST 100% OF CASES IF TAKEN CARE OF. IT WILL HEAL ON ITS OWN. HEALING TIME VARIES FROM 1 MONTH TO 3 MONTHS. BUT IN MOST OF THE CASES IT HEALS COMPLETELY BY 6 WEEKS. TILL THEN U NEED TO TAKE CARE THAT WATER SHOULD NOT ENTER THE AFFECTED EAR. DON'T INSTILL ANY EAR DROP. TAKE UR PRESCRIBED MEDICINES. IT WILL HEAL SOON.
