Hi,
Nothing to worry about parmenent damage as you are given full course of antibiotics.
By this time your damage ear drum might have healed up.
Do not put any cotton bud to clean the ears as it might cause further damage.
Keep cotton plug in your ears while taking bath to prevent water going inside.
Ok and take care.
