I got my tragus pierced about a week ago and all went great, the last two days however it has been more sore, a dull throbbing and occasional warm feeling. is it infected for sure? if so what can I do to prevent it from getting worse? is cleaning with warm water and table salt incredibly bad?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that infected tragus requires a regular cleaning and dressing with warm water and neosporin powder it will heal the infection in2 to 3 days.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
