Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, your doctor is right. Small tympanic membrane perforation usually heals by itself.
No harm in jogging as it has no effect on tympanic membrane perforation.
You should avoid water, dust, chemical inside ear.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
Avoid excessive coughing and sneezing.
Wait for 1 month more for healing. If you still not improving then surgical repair of tympanic membrane (tympanoplasty) is needed.
At present, you can jog, no harm in it.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
