Re: Punctured eardrum

Donna, I have sent a message to Tony.  He's away from his desk right now but will respond when he returns.

With a punctured ear drum, I am not sure if any drops of any kind should be placed in the ear.  So, don't do anything until you hear from Tony

Until you hear from Tony, this may give him relief:

To stop the pain of ear infections, put a cup of salt in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. Use coarse salt and dump it into a thick sock. The sock is to prevent burns. Apply the sock to the painful ear and it draws fluid out of the ear.

Get a washcloth full of hot water and wring it out. Hold this onto the ear until it cools. The moist heat will increase the circulation in the ear, thereby reducing the swelling and pain.

Do not put any drops in his ear until you hear from Tony.

Hugs,

Luella
