Could use your help docs! my daughter just got her ears pierced now one is infected!?

Different choices: We do get better from most infections without antibiotics, but it generally takes longer, and once in a while the infection exacerbates and becomes a serious problem. A topical antibiotic and local heat MAY resolve the issue. Your family doc or pediatrician might prescribe an antibiotic. Certainly worsening redness, swelling, pain and/or high fever should prompt a prompt visit to your doc
