A member asked:
Is it a health concern when an ear has a hole inside to a point that something can go through to the throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Umm: A hole in ear drum will allow medicine or liquid to drain into your throat. The only real health concerns are getting water in ear causing infection. And hearing loss from the hole. You should see an ENT doc to check it out!
