You can use 3% hydrogen peroxide or boric acid water to clean it, then wipe it clean with a cotton swab or use an aspirator to suck out the pus before dripping the medicine. ② When there is a lot of pus, use water; when the dosage is small, use boric acid alcohol.

4. Ear drop method: The patient sits or lies down with the affected ear facing upwards. Gently pull the auricle backwards and upwards, drop 3-4 drops of medicine into the external auditory canal, then press the tragus lightly with your fingers several times to encourage the medicine to flow into the middle ear through the perforation of the tympanic membrane. Change body position after a few minutes. Note that the ear drop medicine should be as close to body temperature as possible to avoid dizziness.

5. If a large perforation in the eardrum affects hearing, tympanoplasty or tympanoplasty can be performed about 2 months after the ear is dry.
