Brief Answer:
Perforated ear drum.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for putting up the query.

The ear drops gets trickle down into the throat in case of perforation in ear drum. The concentration is very low so not that harmful.

You should continue with the medicines.

Hope I have answered your query.
