Ear pierced, Are they infected?

Question

I had my ear pierced last friday and they were ok. I have done everything they told me to do, but they are hurting all the time, even if i don't touch the studs. They sting like mad

Answer 1

You haven't had your ears pierced for that long so it's normal to have pain in your ears. Try sleeping on your back, because the pressure on your ears from sleeping is another way to make the pain last longer. Also buy a spray called h2ocean,and use it twice a day.Make sure you do a full rotation of the stud to allow the solution to get inside of the hole.

Answer 2

they are not infected unless you have any weird colored pus coming out of them but if it get more serious go to the doctor maybe it could be the start  of an infection if they do get infected I suggest cleaning it with rubbing acohol and then putting neosporin so it dosent get anymore infected then that xoxo good luck

Answer 3

I had mine pierced 2 weeks ago, and she said it would hurt for a while but if it swells really bad to take them out.  I would wait a few more days and see if they get better.

Answer 4

use the cleaner that they gave you.

Answer 5

That's not normal.  Are they itching?  If they itch it could be that you're allergic to the type of metal they used.  Especially if you have cleaned them properly.

Try dial soap from the pump (NOT the bar, bars can hold bacteria) with a wet q-tip.  Wash the front and back of the earrings and pull lightly/twist them to get the soap in the hole.  I've found that works better than the solution they give you (if that's what you got).  Good luck!

Answer 6

that is not nornmal.. are you sure you are taking care of it correctly... try putting some rubbing alcohol on it with a cotton swab... don't touch your earrings directly.. you may try perfume or any spray that contains alcohol in it...if the problem still persists go to the doctor

Answer 7

Unless they are oozing yellow , green , or any colored pus then they arent infected.

You could boil some water and put some salt in it to make salt water and just put that on your ears to make them feel better.

&Keep your hair up so it wont tug on the earring too.
