What can be done for a toddler with a perforated eardrum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Some will heal spontaneously over time and others (usually older kids) might need an operation to patch it. ENT docs can take tissue from other parts of the head and create a patch that will work, but the work is delicate and best done in experienced hands.
