If you have something active going on in your ear, as a general principle, it's certainly better that you already have a perforation in the eardrum. I do know that for people with middle ear infections who absolutely need to fly, one solution is to have a myringotomy performed the day before the flight.

Having said that, you should speak with your ENT prior to flying since none of us here has specific knowledge about your particular condition.
