don't try and pop your ears if you have a perforated eardrum or you will just rupture it again. blow your nose very gently. give it time to heal and ten days is not enough time. it can take several more weeks so hang in there. i suspect you had a middle ear infection (not an inner ear infection). you will need to see your medical provider again so that the status of the perforation healing can be determined. you can get a hearing test at that time and a test to check for eardrum motion and middle ear fluid (tympanogram) if you doctor offers that service. otherwise you can see an ent specialist.
i'm 46 & had an inner ear infection & perforated ear drum. it's been a little over 10 days & the antibiotics took the ear infection away but i still cannot hear & it's driving me nuts. my ear drains a bit when i lay on that ear at night & i can still blow air out of my ear when i blow my nose. how can i unplug my ear so i can hear again?
