Hi ,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Yes, if you pinch your nose and blow out and hear a whistling noise and air comes out it means you have punctured ear drum .
It is a Medico legal case .

When a patient with similar conditions meets me at my clinic, I advice
Keep ear dry , don’t allow water go inside while bath.
It will heal within 7-10 days of its own .

If it not heal within 10 days you need to consult ENT surgeon .

Hope it is helpful to you . If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
