My daughter's ear peircing is infected, does she needs to see her doc?!


Question: It's pretty gross looking. I pushed on the earring and a bunch of yellow pus came out and then the back starting bleeding uncontrollably. So, I took the earring out and the back of her ear is discolored and seems to have a blister and it's oozing.
Her ears have been peirced for three months and we have been fighting infection in this ear since then, it's always gotten better and then gotten infected again. This is the worse it's ever been. But I don't want to waste anyone's time if it's something I can take care of myself. Should I just keep it clean or does she need to see her doctor?

Cleanse it, Cleanse it, Cleanse it. put an antibiotic ointment on it. If in a couple days it doesn't look any better, then you should go see a doctor. The infection can spread, and make her sick, and the ear can become deformed in that area if not taken car of properly. Better to be safe then sorry.

A couple things, your daughter may have very sensitive ears, and they may not be able to handle "foreign objects in them, or if she is wearing fake earrings, next time try to use real silver, and cleanse it often.

Good Luck! Hope all goes well!

I think she needs to see a doctor.
If its been 3 months then theres a deffinit
problem. She could get coliflower ear
or the infection could spread.

before taking her to a doctor, go to the place where she got her ear pierced and ask to buy a bottle of ear piercing solution, they have always cleared up a piercing infection for me. if that doesnt work take her to the doc. good lcuk

metholated spirits just dab it on her ears the infection will go away
