I'm worried about my left ear. It has around 70 holes in the eardrum. Is there any way it can heal on its own without needing surgery? What's the best solution for this?

My 7-year-old son is a mouth breather but doesn't have any infections. He didn't used to get colds or coughs often, but now it's happening more frequently. We've tried nasal sprays like physiomer, but he still breathes through his mouth. Should we consider surgery or wait for his adenoids to shrink on their own? Could this mouth breathing affect his physical or mental growth?

Breathing problem can be emergency... Should visit any nearby paeditric hospital as early as possible
