Question

I've accidentally ruptured my eardrum while using a q-tip and I've attached a photo for you to see. There's no pain but I do feel some pressure in my ear. Should I be worried about this? How does an injury like this heal?

I'm really concerned because for the past 6 months, my tonsils have been swollen with these pus pockets. It all started when I got the flu, but they've stayed enlarged since then.

Is this something I should worry about?
