Suggest Remedy For Infection At The Site Of Ear Piercing
Hello,I got pierced a month and a half ago and my piercing was healing well. Ear piercing, in the middle of the ear , semi cartilage. But a couple of days ago started feeling some pain and mild fever. I looked at my piercing and it had sunk into the piercing, the earring had dropped in. I pulled out with clean hands and cleaned it methylated spirits . The pain has subsided but still struggling with the septic ear.What should I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some local infection at the site of piercing.
Now as ear ring came out, within 2-3 days infection will be subsided.
Apply antibiotic cream after cleaning with spirit.
If infection persisted then you might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
