Cure For Infection After Navel Piercing

I got my navel pierced about a month and a half ago and it got infected soon after. I managed to get rid of the infection and I changed the jewelry, but it recently got infected again and I have been feeling rather sick to the stomach since the change. I was wondering if this had anything to do with it and if there was anything I could do about the infection? I haven't told my parents as I was going to when it was healed

Hi,
It seems that there might be having secondary bacterial infection on piercing site giving this problem.
Clean the part properly and apply antibiotic cream for few days.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
If problem persisted then you might require removal of piecing ring.
Ok and take care.
