hello and welcome to HCM,

Your doctor is absolutely right in asking you to wait for at least three months after a traumatic hole in the drum before resorting to an operation.
Moreover you actually do not need any particular tablet and only need to make sure that you keep your ear completely dry and not allow even a drop of water to go inside (while taking head bath you can take a clean piece of cotton and dip it in coconut oil and squeeze it nicely and place it at the entrance of your ear canal)
Some amount of blood especially through the ear and also the mouth is common during the healing phase or the recovery. If it is more then you may consult your ENT
Take an audiometry examination for the assessment of hearing loss which will act like your baseline for further evaluation and treatment.

I generally would add an antibiotic for a week and an antihistamine tablet to prevent discharge but thats the individual doctors preference.

take care and do not meddle with your ears
