so i got it pierced just over a week ago and everything was fine until a few days ago, it started swelling and burning up. the next day it was pretty obvious it was infected, bright red, painful, really swollen. ive been taking ibroprufen and doing sea salt soaks and using anti-septic spray. the infection is affecting my lymph glands.. so my throat is swollen and the side of my face, like a 50p size, has become hard and swollen,. oh and its affecting my hearing through the pierced ear. yesterday i went to the doctors and he gave me anti-biotics but said if theres no improvement within 48 hours to take it out. now i know its generally said not to take it out because it will trap the infection, but dont u think doctors know what they're talking about? i dont know. anyway, the infection has been really draining me, ive been quite ill and tired alot.
do you think it will clear up? ive taken a days worth of anti-biotics and it doesnt seem to have made a difference..
what should i do?
