Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Infection Post Tragus Piercing
I have my tragus pierced and have had it since July. recently it has gotten infected and nothing is curing it. ever since it s gotten infected I ve been sick. running a fever, being super nauseous and my jaw has been sore. do these symptoms have anything to do with this? what are some things I can do to help this infection and these side effects?
Thanks for your question, I am Dr Asanghanwa. Reading your querry, I would say you have a systemic infection due to entry of germs from the infected tragus wound into your blood - a condition know as bacterial sepsis. I would advise you consult a physician so that blood samples and pus samples are collected and analysed so that appropriate antibiotics and medications are prescribed. Yes your symptoms have a lot to do with your infected wound. I advise that if you in the future do piercings, it should be by qualified and well trained staff who use properly sterilised equipment. Good Luck and get well soon.
