Hello,

Yes, small perforations may heal itself so don't worry. Butvon case of continue infection or irritation may cause delays healing. Avoid water entry into ear canal. Avoid allergic food and cool drinks. In case of middle ear infection have to be treated early. If above symptoms not improved please consult with your doctor he will examine and treat you to.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
