A member asked:
I've perforated eardrum and infection.they gave me 2 different drops(18 drops a day)and it hurts so much.i can taste drops after 2min.are these normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Your being able to taste the drops is normal as there is a connection between the middle ear and throat, through the eustachian tube. Having a ruptured ear drum is not normal and you ought to see an ENT doctor for proper treatment. Wish you good health!
