The clot is not at issue..As to the perforation, healing on its own depends on the cause of perforation. Traumatic perforation may heal by itself in general. Only care that needs to be take is that it should not get infected. DO NOT PUT EAR DROPS. Do not let water inside and do not have anything which may cause a cold. It may take upto 6 weeks to close
