First let me say how ill-advised your actions have been.
Take out any needle or any foreign object from your ear. Apply bactine with lidocaine or neosporin with pain relief and give it a minute or two to work. Then take a very warm washcloth and press it to your ear for 30 seconds and then squeeze gently the area that hurts. Do the same with the other ear. Reapply antibiotic ointment. If it persists tomorrow, do it again. If it continues to Monday, see the dr. You may need an oral antibiotic.

It depends on how long ago you did it. Clean it with alcohol several times a day. If it doesn't get any better and worse you better see a Dr. and get an antibiotic.

just keep it clean, keep your hands off it and use perioxide on it twice a day and dont take the earring in and out, leave the same one in for 6 weeks

I would suggest a visit to your doctor - or emergency - immediately. And tell your parents, so they can get you the medical help you need.
