What Causes Swelling Of Ears After Stretching With A Taper?

i stretched my ear with a taper and it didnt hurt at all, although when i put the tunnel in it started stinging and i thought it was normal. my ears are very swollen and i managed to take the tunnels out but my hole is closing and is filled with blood / puss, what should i do?

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

It seems your ear canal got infected for your stretching procedure. you need antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs to prevent on going infection and future atresia ( total closure) of ear canal. kindly visit an Ent.
