Can A Tragus Piercing Cause Flu And Blocking Of The Ear?
I recently got my Tragus pierced on Wednesday this week, i have developed a flu, also my ear feels blocked...i was wondering are these the signs of my piercing being infected? It is sore but there is no discharge or anything neither is it swollen etc

hi.
tragus piercing will not cause flu or blocked ears,
you are probably coming down with a viral infection.
