Hi dr my mum 51 years old ..her tympanic membrane (eardrum) is rupture from 10 years ago & now she suffer from discharge.. what she can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She needs ear drops: She needs medicated drops to help her drainage. If you have an ENT doctor, contact them for an appointment. She needs to have her ear cleaned out and medicated drops prescribed. Do not have her ear irrigated with water as this can lead to a worsening infection.
