I know there are a few questions similar but its better to ask with my own issues to get a more specific answer.

I had my nose pierced 2 weeks ago and yesterday I got what I assume is an infection. I've been treating it no differently, maybe being a little bit more precautious, using Dr. Pierce (the anti bacterial stuff from my piercer) on the inside and outside of my nose along with some Polysporin.
There was a small yellow-y bubble just under the stud that I was able to wipe away (pretty sure it was pus) a few hours later but the hole is still red and swollen and there is still a bit of pus hanging around.

Also now when I apply the dr pierce and especially the polysporin to the inside of my nose it causes a sharp sting, even moving the post stings a bit.

Should I just keep using the anti bacterial stuff and polysporin or try something else/see a doctor?

Thanks guys!

BEST THING TO DO IS JUST DONT TOUCH IT AND IF YOU HAVE TO TO TURN THE RING OR STUD, MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN

yes go see the doctor you may need pills and you never know what kind of infecton it is and frankly it could get worseand you nose would get big and then you'd have to go to school would be bad.
