cleanse with hydrogen peroxide every day (morn and nite) and put neosporin (antibacterial ointment) on it for a week. And don't play with it or wear tight clothes on it.

Keep it very clean, and make sure you are cleaning it anytime you touch it! Your hands carry many germs that could make the infection worse. Try using this solution for cleaning your piercing...it works great! I had an infection on my nose piercing and this cleared it right up! Visit the site below for more info on it.
Also, never use alcohol or any ointments on it...it can just make the infection worse! This was told to me by the lady who has done all of my piercings! (I have my librae (lip), nose, and 9 on my ears)

Stop touching your piercing... just let your body heal it byiself.. or you can help it by taking some anitbiotics
