I'm 21 and recently got a small tear in my eardrum because of water from a pond. I've noticed that water is frequently leaking from my ear now. My doctor recommended that I take serlox D, ceferite 500, montas L, and pentab 40. Do you think these medicines will actually help with my condition?

The medications prescribed by your doctor seem appropriate for managing the ear infection, preventing complications, and supporting healing. Make sure to adhere to the treatment plan and avoid water exposure to your ear until the eardrum has healed. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, be sure to follow up with your doctor.
