Can My Daughter Play Volleyball With Perforated Eardrum?

My daughter yesterday had a perforated ear drum that was confirmed by a doctor. She is having pain and can't hear out of the ear. She's taking Advil without much pain relief. She is a volleyball player. Despite the pain, can she play volleyball without doing further damage and not impeding the healing process?

Hi,
I have gone through your query; and suggest you that your daughter can play volleyball with perforated ear drum.

If it is the traumatic perforated ear drum then better to avoid external auditory canal from water, oil, and ear bud and ear drops.

Thanks.
