Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Ear And Pus Discharge From Ear
Hi my daughter had her ears pierced 6 months ago with no issues to date. Today she said her ear was sore when I checked it out by removing the earring puss came from the hole. Does she need an antibiotic or can this recover with sterile cleaning a no of times a day?

Hello,
I don't think she needs antibiotics. You may need to clean ear hole with alcohol 2-3 times daily. Make sure that the earrings she has are made of gold or silver or non allergic material.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
