Hello and thanks for your question. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible to evaluate your ears and make sure you do not have an infection. Ear drum perforations can allow bacteria to enter your middle ear and cause infection. You may also need to see an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist to evaluate and perhaps do a repair if you have a perforation. Good luck to you.
