what could be wrong with them?

they are infected, clean the posts regularly with peroxide, also the quality of your ear rings may be poor, only use posts with high grade metals, real silver or gold

That happens to me and you might have nickeldermatitis which means you are allergic to most metals that touch your skin. The best kind for you to wear would probably be real gold or sterling silver. Make sure your ears and earrings are clean with antiseptic. You can also try putting some vaseline around your piercing before putting your earrings on so they wont aggrevate your skin. You can put some ice on your ears if they are painful

this happened to me too, I'm 14 and have 2 piercings on each ear too. I got my second ones around Christmas time.
What I did was take all of them out for about a week and I cleaned them with hydrogen peroxide every night and sometimes in the morning, and all ways clean the earring too. mine just needed some rest and there fine now.
They could be infected, i think mine were a little but they recovered.

1] wash off all your earrings after you take them out. Wipe with alcohol [ less corrosive to metal than peroxide ], and dry, then store.
2] after you bathe or shower [ without earrings in ], clean ear holes with alcohol, and put antibiotic ointment on ear holes - 'twirl' earrings around so ointment is spread out.
3] you could be sensitive to some metals - try surgical, stainless steel, or hypoallergenic earring wires. Even gold and silver wires have nickel in them, which is a frequent culprit. If you must wear junky jewelry, don't leave in overnight.
4] when ears are sore; put some good quality hoops in until they heal - air hits from all sides

You may be allergic to the jewelry in your ears and may need to get hypoallergenic earrings for your piercings. Also,make sure you are still cleaning your ear piercings regularly.

Well you should probably change your jewelry to surgical steel, or something else that's hypoallergenic.
Don't clean it with peroxide... it will dry your ears out horribly.
The best thing is just salt water.

I many piercings and I've used that for all of them and it is very good. I like how it's in aerosol form because it stays sterile and what not.

Clean your ears with the product H2ocean. it will help it heal and stop the puss. Just clean them regularly or buy a different type of earing.
