If your ear drum got perforated by trauma then usually it will heal within three weeks. If it was acute infection such as acute otitis media causing perforation of ear drum then healing will occur within a week. Usually both of these conditions do not require surgery. You need to keep your ear dry.

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
