I got my belly button pierced February 27th.. so exactly four months and three weeks ago. It was doing fine for a while but then it started to hurt and get really red. I've read that the usual symptoms for infection are
-odor
-redness
-swelling
-tenderness
-green/yellow puss

My symptoms include redness, swelling, and tenderness. Could it still be infected? If so, I have H2Ocean saline spray, Blue Wave saline spray, X-pressions antiseptic cleansing spray, anti-bacterial piercing soap and non-iodized salt to make a solution with. What should I be using? How many times a day should I be using this? Plus could you give me some extra tips.. like do not move the barbell around or wash your hands before touching your piercing.

Thanks so much (:
