Ear perforation and infection

After perforating my right ear at a very loud gig last year with a 50% perforation, I developed an ear infection at the end of February 17. Five month later i still have an infection despite using Coloxan and Canesten drops 3 times daily each.

The ENT said i might need a Myrinoplasty op to repair the drum, but it can't do done whilst infected and even then theres only a 60% chance it'll work.

Does anyone have any experience of this? I feel like I'll never get rid of this infection and my anxiety is getting the better of me.
