Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ear After Tragus Piercing
I have my tragus pierced and a few days ago I woke up and it had fallen out, this has happened a few times where the front has fallen off but the back has stayed in, this time the back had gone too and since then I ve had really bad ear ache and it hurts to touch my ear... what will happen if the back has gone in my ear?

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
There could be infection of the cartilage of the tragus. You would require antibiotics for the control of infection and the inflammation. Go to the doctor and get the back portion the ear studs removed. Retained portion can aggravate the infection.
Regards
