I've had my ears done nine times (different places obviously!) and quite a few of them have caused pain and discomfort for months. I still get random pain when i've slept on one funny. One of my friends earlobes swelled up extremely big and all she did was get some special ear cleaning fluid from a piercing shop and cleaned it twice a day and the swelling went down. Don't worry about it, the swelling with calm down soon enough:) [ chloekc's advice column | Ask chloekc A Question ]
orphans answered Saturday July 7 2007, 2:42 pm: Really, don't worry about it. You probably just irritated it somehow. It should go away if you don't mess with it. My ears were like that when I got my second hole done. Listen to the answer below me, there's really no reason to go to the doctor at all unless it starts looking bad. Don't take it out either.

DancinCutie08 answered Saturday July 7 2007, 2:10 pm: did you sleep on it? chances are you rolled on it and made the earing move a bit... that is very typical during the healing process and I would not be worried... Just don't change your earings and continue to clean them till this goes away (and don't play with it!)
it usually takes 3-6 monthes for it to fully heal 100% so thats totally fine
if it hurts just take some tylonol
DO NOT USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!! although that cleans the ear well it also makes your ear reject the piercing more.. just use the ear care stuff they should have given you or just dial anti bacterial soap! [ DancinCutie08's advice column | Ask DancinCutie08 A Question ]
ASAPcamille answered Saturday July 7 2007, 2:01 pm: Take the earring out now, and go to the doctors. Clean it with the special cleaning formula or soap too. It could be an allergic reaction to something in the earring. Take it out, go to doctors, and you can just get it repierced. This is dangerous.
If it doesnt go away in a day, then you HAVE to go to the doctors. [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
