Acute perforations secondary to trauma or infections usually heal with medications or sometimes spontaneously. Chronic persistent perforations usually do not heal by themselves and surgery is almost always required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
