Hard Lump, Bleeding, Pus Discharge After Child Pierced Ears. Help

My daughter got her ears pierced 6 weeks ago. We changed her earrings tonight and noticed a hard lump inside her lobes and one other started to bleed with a little pus . We cleaned really good with soap and water and applied perioxide should we leave earrings out until lumps go down? Also when should I take her in if it doesn t seem to get better

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection at piercing site.
Remove earring and apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
If infection is more go for antibiotic medicne course for 3 days.
After infection becomes clear, go for earrings.
Ok and take care.
