How long do antibiotics take to clear up a nose ring infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Topical or oral?: Depending on the severity of the infection and in this case if cartilage is involved, the antibiotic you are prescribed will likely treat the infection, although it may take a while for redness and residual swelling to fully resolve. If you have any concerns, please see your treating physician immediately.
