You might be having a reaction to the thing you have changed it to take it out and clean the old one and put it back in

I have also had a bad belly button infection when I pierced my belly!

First thing I would do is remove your belly ring...
Put it in hot water with salt, and maybe wise to visit your doctor to get some anticepted cream

You could be having a reaction to the metal that you replaced your original ring with. I can only wear certain types of metal and if I put anything else in I get sore. Go back to the original ring and use peroxide and see if that helps.
