Question: Hi... I got pierced my second and third stud on my ear. There was no problem until 5 days. When i tried to change my earrings it become swollen and when i tried to put back the earrings all went in except one. I forcefully put back the earring. Now its been 5 days and its all swollen and the one in which i forcefully inserted there is some yellow colour at back side of piercing. What should i do now. I am a feeding mom,so i think it ll be bad idea to go an antibiotics.
I am using saline solution.initially i used coconut oil and salt mixture.
Brief Answer:
Topical antiseptic creams will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query in detail
As per your description the possibility of localised pus formation is existing.
This can be well treated with the help of topical antiseptic creams like Cetrimide and Wound wash with either povidone iodine or hydrogen peroxide for a period of 3 to 5 days. Topical formulations are quite safe in breastfeeding women.
Please check with your physician if he/she share my view and if can prescribe these medications to you.
Further manipulation of the affected area should be discouraged.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
