Hello,
Your sister is having a problem called tympanic membrane perforation (TM perforation). Surgery will be the treatment of choice and if left behind it might lead to infections. Consult an ENT specialist and opt for procedures like tympanoplasty.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
