Brief Answer:
It should heal in few days
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Usually ear heals in 3-4 days. But it can take longer in same cases and its fine. You can apply some neosporin skin ointment. Clean it with soap and water.
It could also be allergy to artificial ear jewellery. If its artificial jewellery, then ask the piercer to change it to original gold or silver ear rings.
If its original jewellery then let it be in place for atleast 6 months.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Its probably allergy to the ornament

Hi again
Its probably allergy to the ornament and it will subside once the ornament is changed to original.
