My 6 yrs daughter has swallowed ear lobe after 1 week of ear piercing which is tender to touch. what to do. please help?

Worrisome: Sometimes frequent cleaning of the site with peroxide followed by effective drying can reduce the localized infection.You may need to remove the post for this to settle down, but the healing process will seal the hole and you start over later. It's important to keep on top of this since the germs can actually get into ear cartilage and deform the ear.If it doesn't improve quickly, have her seen.
