How To Treat Headache After Having Tragus Pierced?
I got my Tragus pierced about a week and a half ago and for the past four days I ve had really bad headaches. I take the earring out and clean it everyday, its not red or swollen but it is a little sore. Could there be an infection spreading which is causing the headaches?

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear tragus piercing pain may subside 2-3days if it is continuing and other symptoms like continued bleeding, soreness around the piercing site
jaw pain, yellow or green discharge, swelling
foul smell emerging from the pierced area means you need to consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. It will take 2-6months to heal completely. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
Take care
