I’ve managed to perforate my eardrum pretty nastily (very stupidly pushed a cotton bud hard into it), it’s fairly painful but more annoyingly is the bleeding/liquid oozing randomly and the weird sounds I can hear (muffled with odd crackles and tinnitus). Saw a nurse who was zero help.-Said to come back if it gets worse.
Should I wear a poster over it to collect the gunk?
How do I clean away the mess?
How long will it take to heal?
Am due to go on holiday in 3 weeks to Spain!
