Brief Answer:
Stugeron is safe drug
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Sturgeon is a safe drug and you can take it, but also be aware of some of its side effects.
Drowsiness, Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain,Headache,Dry mouth,Sweating,Weight gain (rarely with long-term use),Abnormal movements of the hands, legs, face, neck and tongue, eg tremor, twitching, rigidity (rarely with long-term use, mostly in elderly people - stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor if this occurs)Skin reactions (very rarely with long-term use)Jaundice (very rarely with long-term use)
It does not mean that you will experience that or any side effect.
As you have perforated ear drum you need to consult ENT surgeon for permanent solution like tympanoplasty.Antibiotic drops will only relieve from infection.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
