Swelling of the ears is completely NORMAL for new piercings. It just means your ears aren't happy with you for piercing them. However, if the piercing is becoming embedded, you should take it out because it will cause an infection. Try doing a sea salt soak, 1/4 teaspoon iodized sea salt, 1 cup warm water. That should help, and then try ice. But NEVER peroxide or alcohol because those actually stop the healing process! Sea Salt soaks promote it. You should always wash your hands thouroughly before touching the new piercings, and clean them with Betadine twice a day. Betadine can be found at your local drugstore (it's blood red color and smells nasty but it works!) If none of that is working, it is possible you have an allergy to the earrings. If you have titannium or stainless steel earrings then probably not, but surgical steel or any of the other metals besides some gold can make you have a reaction to the earrings. If you are really worried, go back to your piercer and maybe they can switch out the earrings for you.
