try some neosporin or bactrim ointment 3 times a day. clean it with alcohol by soaking a cotton ball and holding it there for several mins 3 to 4 times a day. make sure before you start that your hands are clean. let it soak in the hot water in the shower to draw the infection out. don't pick it or squeeze it or it'll probably develop into a more serious infection. it you don't notice a marked difference in 3 days, or it gets worse, go to the doctor.

try different earings and clean for another couple of weeks it could be a reaction to the earing if it gets worse check with a doctor

You need to clean them well and use hydrogen peroxide to do so. then follow with some neosporing until cleared up it does sound like it is infected.
