    Signs of an infected piercing can include severe redness, severe swelling and/or a yellow or green discharge that smells bad. An advanced infection can also include fever and/or chills.

    If you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor. The only thing that will fully cure an infected piercing is antibiotics. Good luck.

    What exactly do you do to it on a daily basis? What do you clean it with? How often do you clean it? How often do you change jewelry? Stuff like that. :)
