Hello,
One should not apply ear drops before consulting a doctor. Consult an ENT specialist and evaluated.
An otoscopic examination is required. Most of the perforations heal by itself without many complications. Rarely surgical correction is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
