Soon: You shouldn't have balance problems for long. Make sure you have care from an ENT who can monitor the healing and make decisions with you about your balance problem.

Eardrum perf: You need an exam. The perforation alone may cause the symptoms. But you also may have pushed wax into the middle ear, making it contaminated and infected. These things can only be evaluated by careful examination with a special otoscope (ear scope) so it's likely that you're in need of a visit to an ent.
