If the perforation of the ear drum is long standing and not healing by medications then surgery is the only option to repair your ear drum. This surgery is known as tympanoplasty. Surgery is usually a simple procedure with excellent results.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
