I have a ruptured ear drum & still have drainage since (4/4/2013) it's just not a lot of drainage. im taking amoxicillin 2 a day.should i be worried?

Try ear drops: A draining ear with a perforation responds much better to antibiotic ear drops than oral antibiotics unless there is also mastoid infection. Suggest Floxin (ofloxacin) optic or Ciprodex , keep the ear dry.
