How To Treat An Infected Ear Piercing?

Just got my third and fourth ear peircing on me ear lobes on Thursday. I got these done at the same time. I new they would be a little discomforting...but I started to worry when my left ear was much more tender than my right. I have been cleaning them twice a day and it's still tender. I'm worried that I have an infection but I haven't seen any discharge. How can I get rid of the soreness? And fast!
