I had my top right ear pierced last week and 2 days ago I woke to find that my ear was red, sore to touch and had become swollen, and today my ear has swelled up a lot more and its really painful, I was just wondering if this is normal and if not thwya I can do to take the swelling down? Please help!

How did u get it pierced? Gun-shot? What metal did u use as ear-ring?
