Hello lybrate-user. Hope you are safe. There are no known serious side effects of cetrizine. But I highly doubt if you need to take it for such a long time. I would say a proper consultation would be required to decide your long term management and ensuring you have a safe ear.

Not recommended to use cetirizine for 6 months before surgery.

As such no major side effects are there but your doctor must have advised these for few days. U should again visit your doctor if there is any problem. If no problem then discontinue cetrizine and ear drop because hole will be cured only by operation.
