Ear Infection
When I started playing field hockey, I had to take our my earrings. So for field hockey season (about 2 months) I probably only wore earring for about a totaly of 4 days.
Now, it's over, and I've started wearing earrings again. I JUST took them out, and my ears hurt so much! They are red, and I KNOW that they are infected badly!
Does anybody know any thing I can do to make this better? I need all the advice I can get!! (Home remedies would be so nice :)
THANKS!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
You can use a sterilizer, like rubbing alcohol to treat and reduce infection, or hydrogen peroxide, which is not a sterilzier, but it does treat infections.
And if you have any ear cleaners, use that, because that would help so effectively!
But if not, stick to rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide by applying it when needed or a few times a day.

If I were you, I would clean the infected piercings with salt water 2 times a day.
and whenever you're not busy, add some salt to hot water (not boiling) and soak a cotton wool pad in it. (the more often, the better) Then just hold over the piercings for about 15 minutes. It's worked when I took a piercing out too early before and it was on the verge of becoming infected.
Good luck.

try cleaning them with alcohol for a few days and wearing only 14K gold or higher earings. if it doesnt get better within two weeks - you may have to let your holes close; and get them re-pierced at a later time. I hope i helped.
