Try taking some Tylenol or Motrin pain relievers and use some ice. Don't touch it or remove the earring it'll close up real fast.

Since its not infected, I'm sure its normal. All you can really do is use the spray or some rubbing alcohol, make sure you clean the earring daily and if it gets infected make sure you tell someone. (parent, doctor, etc.)

~I hope this answers your question~
ps. hmmm mine didn't hurt at all after about 2 days well only when i slept on it but thats all i really do think you should go back to where you got it pierced. [ no12trust's advice column | Ask no12trust A Question ]
