Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
In most of the cases an ear piercing or artificial jewelry causes infection of the ear lobe. You are recommended to follow following things:
1. Take Tab Augumentin 625mg (Amoxicillin/
clavulanic acid) 1 tablet three times a day for 5 days
2. Polyfax Plus Ointment ... Take pea size of the tube and rub on the infected area three times a days for 4 days
3. Tab
Acetaminophen 1 tablet three times a day for 3 days ... ( It will relieve pain)
4. Wash your hands well before treating your lobe. Remove any developed crust with with a cotton swab that has been moistened with antibacterial soap or clean water.
5. Apply a warm, moist compress to the site for about 15 minutes /day for 4 days. This will increase blood flow to the
earlobe and will help to prevent infection. It will also give soothing effect.
6. AVOID unnecessary touching of the ear lobe as it will prolong the disease.
Hope it will help you in getting well soon.
Thank You
