i originally had a 18G in my ears and i put a 14G and then12G all in the same day. I know this is really bad for you and now my ear is infected. Do i leave the 12G in or should i put a smaller gage or just take it out entirely???
____
and also my other ear feels like i have a lot of pressure in it (like im under water)...does this have anything to do with my earlobes, or is it just a coincidence that i happen to be sick too?

Well, you stretched too fast, but its not the end of the world.
Put the 14s back in and leave them for at least 6 weeks. then you can get a taper and stretch to 12, wait 6 weeks, stretch to 10 etc.
You may have to wait longer if there is any bleeding, indicating a tear. Your ear is most likely not infected, just really pissed off at you. Do regular sea salt soaks to help it heal.

put in the 14G or even get a 16G then wait till they heal.
