I have an ear infection caused by a helix piercing and i dont know how to treat it or the extent of how bad it is.

Ear helix infection: If you have fever or spreading of redness from the site of infection, then I would recommend you call in for consultation. In mean time, keep area clean, and you can wipe it with betadine and apply triple antibiotic ointment.
