I think my ear piercing is infected. What do I do?

Got them pierced 3 weeks ago and the left ear is swollen and it hurts audit's itchy, even though I have no idea how because I've done everything I was supposed to do. :/

Mine did that and I ignored it and it was fine.
But you still should check up on it. You could be alergic to the metal. Or even a small piece of dirt got in it.
@londonbr1dge Possibly. I have been cleaning it with Luke warm water and salt, though. My right ear did the same thing for a bit, but it wasn't this bad.

@lauriethecolourful I would use the cleaner they sold me. Yet I was pretty bad about cleaning it often.
But as long as the swelling doesn't last for over a week or starts bleeding or spreading you should be ok. But it's something you want to keep your eye on.
