Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Tragus After Ear Piercing
I just got my tragus pierced on my left ear 6 days ago. It is very swollen and every day the area just gets harder. It hurts ro touch it. Even the left side of my throat is sore, and my left nostril is completely stopped up. When I press on the swollen area, green puss comes out. I am scared that I have an infection, should I go to the doctor?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having bacterial infection on ear prick site.
There might be having infection or radiating pain in throat or nostril.
You might require one course ofantibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Apply antibiotic cream after proper cleaning.
Consult your doctor and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
