Are Topical Antibiotics And Hydrogen Peroxide Right Treatment For Redness On Ears?

my 8 year old came home today with her pierced earring holes red...she has had them for 6 months and was wearing a cheaper pair of earrings to school over the last week (not gold). Is topical antibiotic cream and hydrogen peroxide the right treatment?
