1] clean each ear hole with alcohol [ peroxide works but is not good for the metals in the earring], and twirl the earring
2] the use a dab of neosporin on each ear hole, and twirl earring so it spreads inside
3] cartilage areas get infected much more easily than ear lobes
4] if not a lot better in tow days - ask store what lind of metal in the earring
5] call doc if necessary

Absolutely! Keep putting the antiseptic on twice as often as directed. If your piercing should start to ooze, go to the hospital for some antibiotics. It'll clear it up, but keep the area extremely clean.

Yes, it is infected. Clean it several times a day with a fresh qtip dipped in alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Both are very inexpensive. I prefer hydrogen peroxide. You will begin to see a difference quickly.

yes it could be... make sure to keep cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and see a piercer as soon as possible to see what to do about it. You could have also gotten something in the hole becasue it is afterall basically an open wound

If it gets red and puffy AND tender you'll know its infected. If puss comes out of the hole you'll know its infected. I am not sure if you are there just yet, keep it as clean as you can.

I think it might be infected on the inside. You might try going to the place where they peirced your ear and see if they can give you something to help it or any advice. Good luck! :]
