Answers:
It is infected and he needs medical attention.
As the first answer stated, it is possible to have to amputate part of the ear or even worse his infection goes septic (infection in the blood stream than can be fatal).
Below is a great website I found that will answer any piercing question you have now or in the future.
GOOD LUCK!
