Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Perforation with ear discharge, requires oral antibiotic course and antibiotic ear drops.
You can continue tab. brufen as a pain killer. By Keeping ear dry and free from infection (correct nose or sinus infections), your perforation will heal on its own with in 2-3 months.
Do not worry. it takes time to resolve, have a consultation from an ent surgeon for appropriate antibiotic course.
All the best.
