I got a plug stuck in my ear and now it's infected, What should I do?
I stretched my ears to 0g and put in double flared 2g glass plugs. About five days later my ear holes had healed to the size in the middle, making it impossible for me to remove them because the ends were too big. Well I tried tying floss to the one in the right ear to see if the weight would help it fall out. All that has happened is that the plug has gotten the majority of the way out, and is now infected. The back has been scabbing and closing up while the front leaks puss and is so sore I can't sleep on it. My ear hole is still too small to remove it and I really don't want to/can't afford to go to the doctor. I have been soaking it in Epsom salt and water mixed every day and,cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. I have no idea what else to do. Help me Please!

As much as you hate the idea of going to the doctor it's really the ONLY option you have. It's only going to get worse if you don't have them look at it and remove it with the proper tweezers.
I understand that it will cost $ but it's your health that is important. This qualifies for an emergency room visit where they will treat it and remove it.
I would not return to a piercing studio as that could make it worse with someone trying to fix the situation who isn't qualified in removing this.

See the doctor, Or go to a piercing parlor.
Piercings are not for everyone, I've had my lip pierced, My nose, My eyebrows etc.
Sorry Kiddo...but the plugs just don't agree with ya
