I got my cartilage piercing just 3 days ago with a gun is this bad? Because this was my first time getting it so I didn't really know. I'm so scared right now because it's swollen and pretty red. The place that I did at, they didn't give me the spray or anything. I need help, is this signs of an infection? Or it's just normal because it was just 3 days.

Firstly, you should never get a piercing with a gun, honey. It's very dangerous as it shatters cartilage, and can cause long-lasting damage. Clean it a few times daily either with SAVLON Antiseptic Spray (not cream!) or salt water. You can also apply tea tree oil to soothe it, but I never did. You might get a lump come up on the back of where the piercing is, if this happens and the piercing gets embedded into your skin, go back and see the piercer who did it. Hope this helps.x
