Medical management and keep ears dry . Can observe for three months if the ear drum heals itself, then no issues! if not then plan for surgery.

You need to meet an ENT Surgeon who needs to treat your nose & throat infection aggressively, to stop the ear discharge. Use silicone earplugs to waterproof ears while bathing. Once ear dries up, the small perforation will heal spontaneously.
