It's been 3 days since i got my ear piercing. the other one still hurts when touch and the surrounding is kinda hard. but it was not red or anything. is this normal?

The pain and firmness of the tissue may be a sign of infection. If these symptoms have persisted, it would be best to be evaluated by a provider in person.
