2 docs gave the same 2 drops for ear infection. they know i have perforated eardrum. drops hurt. should i keep using them?if so for how long? should i stop after my ear becomes dry for a full day?

Ear: Floxin otic or ciprodex may not cause pain. If not seeing ENT, best to do so. Perforation needs specialist's attention. Keep ear dry otherwise.
