Pierced ear is swollen and red?
I got my ear pierced (left ear) about 3 weeks ago and i woke up today and found out that my departed ear was red and swollen...does my ear have an infection? Ive also be cleaning my ear about 2 times a day next to rubbing alcohal.
Answer: a doctor visit isn't neccasary in my judgment i have eight holes in my ears adjectives done at home and you may be alergic to the metal try changing the earing to real gold ingots or a sensitive ears earing and see if that helps you may have caught it or slept on it and cause it to swell if you keep cleaning it you should be fine if it doesn't stop hurting take the earing out for awhile than and depart from it out for a couple days than if it isn't better you should ask a doctor, good luck.
best to go to dr as it is infected .you own catridge in your ear .sometimes when piece your ear .it causes it to act in response .plus you slept on it .if you dont get it out will cause more problems .dr will distribute you antbodices for the infection .at the store where you got it pieces .they contribute you a bottle to put on it four to six times a day .mine did this .i took mine out .you have catridgein your ears causeing you not be capable of pieces a certain spot .try a another spot on your ear next time .or try thoses clip on ones i know it hurts .but antbodices will give support to it an lot to feel better . First thing's first. Take out the earring. Then clean your ear next to peroxide, apply neosporin and go to a doctor...you may need an antibiotic. The piercing will treat up. After it heals and you re-pierce it, turn your earring posts twice daily, and valet it with antibacterial soap in the shower.
