Ear drum rupture
My mother's ear drum had ruptured when she was an infant, she didn't get the treatment required for it. A few days back her ear discharge started with some noise and discomfort. The doctor performed a ct scan, now on the basis of the report he says that the operation needs to be done but there is no guarantee that it will not create any problem further because there is also an issue to the ear bone. I wish to have some advice regarding this. Thanks in advance to all the doctors.
